Hi,
I use a spray which is for wooden furniture, I use to use a spray from
Gibson, but I compared the two and they are practicly the same.
About string cleaning, I'm not to sure about that. I use a dry cloth to
wipe of my strings after playing, but I believe that a brass cleaner
will make the strings tone dead after a while, they may be clean, but
the tone will be gone, since a residue of the cleaning product will stay
behind. I noticed this when I played Bass guitar a few years back, I did
this because the strings were expensive, but I soon realized that is was
no good. A plain clean cloth that doesn't "pluche" works best. I learned
from a pro bass player that boiling the strings with vinegar cleans
them, I tried this and it works. I never did this with guitar strings
however, since it is a lot of hassle and not worth the try since a
guitar sting get thinner after a while at fret hight, you see this very
good with round wound strings, the back of the string gets stepped, I
also noticed this with flatwound strings. So when they start loosing
their tone I replace them.
Just my two cents,
Jerry S.

. . . guitar cleaning product? I need to replace the cleaning rag
that came with my Jag soon, and am thinking that I should be
cleaning my guitar more regularly with some type of "product". I
wipe it down (strings and all) after playing, but don't use any sort
of cleaner/polish. Any recommendations?
I've also heard of things like the brass instrument "Blitz cloth"
which are supposed to increase string life - anyone use one of
those? Just a few "Spring cleaning" question - have a great
weekend, everyone!
