    Nitro guitar cleaner/polisher

    I build custom guitars and I hand dye them, finish them in oil and thne several coats of carnauba buffed out. The carnauba gives the wood a fantastic luster, and an occasional mild buff with a microfiber cloth gets them clean and shiny.

    Should i use fretboard oil on dry fretboard 2 days after applying lemon oil, because of a dry fretboard on my Strat Player Plus HSS

    Rubbing a small amount of carnauba wax on a bare wood fretboard and then buffing it out after about 15 minutes really provides a nice luster mto dried out fretbooards. Also, if using lemon oil be careful to not let it stay on the finished back of the neck, as the solvent in it can damage the paint.

    From my understanding, most solid color bodies were basswood, and sunbursts were mostly alder.

    Clapton Mid Boost Upgrade

    Easier way to it is to get your hands on a Deluxe Powerhouse Strat, replace the pickups and clip the additional resistors to raise the boost from 12db to 25db (although the 12db is more thansufficient imo).
