PRS 408 w/ Rosewood Neck

[augustvoelk]

Hi Guys,

I recently picked up a PRS 408 with a solid rosewood neck. I had a few questions, because of the solid rosewood neck, how should I treat the neck to clean it? and also, my hands have a tendency to sweat a lot, will this affect the wood at all, or cause any damage over time?

Thanks

Rosewood's really oily, don't worry about sweat damaging it. PRS says when it needs cleaning, a good lemon oil works for cleaning, followed by a coat of light furniture polish, such as Behold or Pledge.

On the ones I had, sometimes sweat would raise a little "fur" on the wood, and I found that the finest grade of micromesh sanding sheets took care of it, one or two light swipes and I was done.
