I've been doing this now for a while on guitars with poly/sticky necks and works an absolute charm, cheap and easy fix, sandpaper works great too, but have to get the right kind and not as easily available over here


just wondering how many other people do this? or prefer using sandpaper or even steel wool?

keep a scotch brite pad in my guitar box and case now =) , this vid gives a good idea, i much prefer the necks on guitars like this

 
Scotch Brite or 0000 steel wool both work great. If using steel wool, just remember to mask off your pickups or you could get shards in your pickup windings and short them out.

Don't use 0000 steel wool on a Charvel type (unfinished) maple neck, it will turn it black by leaving those shards in it.

Absolutely correct...but there would be no reason to do so since there is no hard finish there to begin with. Kinda like saying not to use rubbing compound on your DeLorean.
 
Posted it here a while back cause the neck on my LP was sticky after playing for awhile. Guys told me about the green Scotchbrite pads, and they work like a charm. Gotta do it every couple months cause he gloss comes back, but still.
