Hello,

What is the best way to clean our beloved instruments ? Since I do not know precisely the types of finish used on my 2 Alembic, I thought it was a good idea to post here before doing mistakes.

I always cleaned my guitars after playing sessions with a slighly wet cloth. It was for me the best way to keep them in good shape.

I recently purchased an used EPIC 4 from 1996 and I found that the back of the neck was quite sticky even after a wet cloth wash. I even tried to use soap to remove the greasy parts.
Still sticky...

I hope there is no problem with the finish.

What would be the best way to get a smooth a,d clean finish ?

More generally, any tips to clean my 2 Alembic (fretboard, neck, HS, body...etc..) ?

Thanks in advance,

Antoine

Antoine,

Finish Care and Oiling your Fingerboard should help with your questions. There are also many other helpful tips in the main thread .
