Mine has a poly finish on the fretboard and neck. And I absolutely hate it. No idea why anyone would make one with such a sticky finish. I love how my guitar sounds but not how it feels. And it needs ss frets. What can I do to strip it a reseal it with something more satin/matte feeling?
What about roasted maple necks? Are they more finger oil-resistant? All my Shijie electrics have one-piece quarter-sawn roasted maple necks with a satin finish (not sure what the finish is made of).
Heyo. I’m not much of a player, but I’m beginning to get frustrated because I push down too hard and it bends the notes. Any suggestions outside of practicing technique?
As somebody who’s learning to do a proper refret on their maple board Squier affinity telecaster, this video is very informative!!

If it can take oil I'm pretty sure its not different.

I once asked this of my old jazz guitar teacher. His answer was as simple as a buddhist teaching. He said simply: I only press as hard as I need to.
"Any suggestions outside of practicing technique?"
so you want to be able to play guitar but you don't want to learn how first? take up harmonica.
why doesn't anyone use shellac?
Its too soft and moister hurts it. it also gets sticky when exposed to moisture.
