Whoever’s doing the production on the video is doing an outstanding job. Very very nice. 👍
Thanks!
Its a one man show here on Mad Man Music!
I do everything on my own.
I’m glad you enjoy it!
🤘🏼😜
I've done this to guitars. Unfortunately I thought the title of this video referred to playing when you have arthritis and carpal tunnel, which I have.
1st of all, Matt thank you for this idea and step-by-step explanation!
This mod is the main game changer! 100%!
I did it with cheapest Ibanez grx40 (nothing to loose), however i covered fretboard and non sanding area with masking tape, as you told in video.
And in fact on it's finish i need only 1000 grit, cuz' when I started to increase grit, at 3000(all wet) - this neck became to be glossy again. So i stoped and just repeat process with only wet 1000. Many factors could infuence: factory finish, sandpater, water, whatever.
But result is freakin awesome!!!
Playability, speed and comfort increase, like this is $1000+, or $2000+ guitar!!!
P.S. Matt please give more advices)
This sort of things, from professional musician is a treasure!!!
Thanx a lot!!!
I'm glad it worked well!!
if you have suggestions for future videos or advice I could help with, feel free to let me know.
Thanks for watching!

Ok, I'll inform you)
By the way, it's realy interesting to see Pro-Pain songs with guitar tabs, someday.
Yeah I bought those green pads myself because youtube told me but I've never used them they look very scratchy .With my clear coated necks I wasted my time with super fine paper at first but sound found out 320 600 and 1000 are all you need That will turn it from a sticky gloss to a silky smooth satin in no time .Give it a few min with all three and keep going a few min at a time til it feels perfect ..I usually seal it with Monty's instrument food when I'm sure it's sanded enough.
Thank you! I haven't started yet. I'm glad I found your video.
Im glad it was helpful!
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic I hate to think how I might have sanded it down without advice!
@user-lf3kr1nq2d Well repair is “almost” always an option to some extent.
Just go slow, start soft. And watch your progress.
🤘🏼😜
I see what you meant about the steel wool, I guess if you use steel wool then it would def become slick and sticky again, good job on this tutorial, this method would most probably work with long hours of playing
Thanks for watching!
It’s different in other cases. This is my particular situation and how I’m dealing with it. So definitely not the “only” way to attack this issue.
So far its lasting, but I’ll need to rough it up again in a few months or so. The idea is to just not eat away too much of the Clear Coat all at once.
🤘🏼😜
Thank you for this tips. ❤
No problem! If you try it, just be patient and use a light hand.
Let us know how it works for you!!
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic already done it after seeing your video before this one.
Great video! I've used 0000 steel wool for years on all my necks. I never worry about taping off personally but I'm never worried about looks.
Take the steel wool. Do some moving up and down the back of the neck and it's good to go
Yeah I wanted it to look uniform and nice. 🤘🏼😜
I'm honestly happy that my neck doesn't get sticky as often as a metalcore guitarist's guitar gets in the deep south...However, my fretboard seems to get dry beyond belief.
Hmm 🤔
Do you regularly oil it with Lemon Oil?
Once a month or so, or when you change strings?
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic I try and do it once a month, but I usually end up doing it every 2 months since I usually use ELIXIR strings
What cleaner did you use?
Its Music Nomad's Guitar Detailer for Matte Finished Guitars. Works great and smells awesome! 🤘😜
What guitar cleaner did you use in the video
Its Music Nomad “Guitar Detailer”. Its for Matte Finished Guitars. Its awesome and smells amazing! 🤘🏼😜
Yeah. I can’t stand painted necks. Which is why I was never into Les Paul’s and others that have painted necks. I did run across a Hamer Chapparal Custom back in the 80’s that I couldn’t live without. After about the 3rd show, I sanded the back of the neck. Played slicker than snot on a door knob after that!
Thats one way to describe it! 😆
I considered the idea of taking the finish off one of my guitars… but that is a serious commitment…
🤘🏼😜
Hey man, so I bought this LTD EC-1000 second hand and a guy who had it before left this Ernie Ball straplock thing on it, then let the guitar sit in a case for like 3 years aaand now it has a weird circle around a strap pin. Would the process of bringing it back to almost normal look similar to what you showed in your video? Thanks!
Im sorry to hear that…
Unfortunately you cant really “spot clean” using this process..
Its hard to say without seeing the guitar what you should do.. but maybe its worthwhile to bring it to a repair expert for advice in person.
🤘🏼😜
@@MadManMusic Yeah, I think I’ll do just that… or accept the status quo :)
The biggest problem with steel wool is that it oxidizes super easy. Then the tiny tiny bits of metal floating around looking magnets. It’s a messy potentially harmful medium. You don’t want corrosion fuel on your hardware and pups.
That said… I prefer 600 then some 0000 steel wool. lol.
The effect on the hardware and pups is a good point to consider when using steel wool. 👍🏼 I wish I could test that to show people.. but I love my gear too much! 🙈
🤘🏼😜
honestly i kinda like the stickyness
Really? 🧐
Pro Pain is such a boomer Butt Rock band name. Truly awful. I love it.
Well that Boomer Butt Rock Band has accomplished a lot more than most people ever will.. and stayed NYHC in the process. 30+ year career, 15 studio albums, and toured the world over too many times to count. Seems people dont seem to have a problem with the name.
🤘🏼😜
Careful, this guy might come back with some passive-aggressive retort where he lists off a bunch of unimpressive shit in a lame attempt to feel superior to you, but really just comes off as a petty, overly sensitive douche struggling to feel significant. Oh wait, nvm.
