What do you use on your strings when finished playing?

Ha-ha!

Guess you’ll have to start wearing gloves when you play, eh Pam? :wink:

(but then, that topic has been thrashed to death already! :roll_eyes:)

Cheers, Joe

What? You people wipe down your strings after playing?

I just boil them in a water and baking soda solution every year or so. :smiley:

Dunlop System 65 is my choice. I use the string conditioner maybe weekly, the body polish as much and the fretboard cleaner/conditioner pretty infrequently. It’s a lemon oil based system, a little bit goes a long way!

A word of warning: don’t used lemon oil on maple fretboards/necks! These necks tend to have a very thin lacquer finish that lemon oil will eat into. Warm water and a bit of love will do just right for your maple necks.

One personal rule is hand washing. I never pickup my instruments if I haven’t washed my hands first.
