How often do you guys give your main axes a do good cleaning and how you go about doing it?
I usually start the clean when dust builds up in the bridge and do a more thorough clean when I change strings.

Personally, I use Pawsafe for the body and neck and a dry dusting cloth for buffing. For the metal parts I use dry Q-tips and a dry dusting cloth as well. Sometimes I use compressed air in a can to force out some of the dirt and grime. Whenever I change strings, I run Q-tips along the edges of the fret wire until the grime is gone. I've noticed it helps prevent that corrosive metal-ish smell from coming sooner.

Just something I wanted to post for some nice tips and such.
