Man, I am sorry to hear that...then in that case...a very fine grade of sand paper...if you go to a hobby shop and pick up some modeling sand paper that should do the trick

Yes but be very careful that you dont go to deep and alter the feel and shape of your neck. For those who never played a neck like this go play a Wolfgang in a store and you will know why he wants to do this. That ax might not be the reason as quite a few are like this, but it feels sublime I must agree.

yes very fine steel wool is the best, sand paper will leave scraps but the wool will make it nice and smooth! I use it all the time.

00000 in North America.

But it is probably your best bet. Don't go crazy, and I suggest using compressed air to blow it off every so often, it will leave tiny slivers of the wool behind.
