anybody on here bother to sand the backs of your necks? if you do why?

Mine's fine the way it came from Fender. It's plenty slippery. I mean, it's not like they didn't know a hand would be sliding on it. No need for improvement IMHO.

I sanded mine, and wiped it down with Tung Oil afterward. I like the Satin Neck on the back and the Gloss Maple on the fretboard. My hand drags on the gloss back when playing a scale up the neck. Just my preference.

Ive had sticky necks stripped. They feel slicker.

Nope, never sanded one.

The SG Faded has that odd very thin finish which is almost-ish like raw wood and it can feel very "sexy."

I picked up a 10 year old squier, had some wear on the neck. Used a kitchen spong with the rough backing, the rough backing took the poly and wear right off. Smooth as satin, feels a lot more slippery.

I love the way sanded necks feel, but I can't bring myself to do it.

the finish on the neck of my strat is quite worn so no need to sand it , but the epi's are another thing altogether , when i'm playing with the band and i start to get sweaty the necks on them become very sticky , so they get a sand with a fine grade wet and dry paper , just enough to take the shine off , the g400 needs done again

it gets plenty of playing time

it must be the 496r /500t pups in it :twisted:

Took the finish off the back of one of my necks (a D or U shaped one) and reshaped the treble side of the back of the neck to allow for a little more comfort. Gibson call it a asymmetrical shape. I call it the VD shape.

I just beeswaxed the hell out of it till it was sealed, been fine ever since.

I didn't sand mine, per se...I just rubbed down the back of my Strat's neck with a green scouring pad to take off some of the gloss; it ended up being "satin" finished and felt better.

I took the finish completely off of this neck and then applied a secret formula clear coat. It will darken a little bit over time.

I prefer the natural look. The original finish is on the headstock but not anywhere else on the neck.

This is smooth as glass. Provides a sweat barrier to the naked wood.

The secret formula MUST involve that can of ale!
