I have a maple Fender Roadworn 50's Strat neck which I intend to use on an upcoming project. I've previously had a couple of Fender Roadworn instruments and really enjoyed the feel of the necks, but found that over a period of time the back of the necks began to feel a little 'furry' from my sweaty hands. Not a major problem, as a quick rub down with some wire wool always solved the problem, but I did wonder if there was a better solution, particularly as this is an all maple neck?
I wondered if some kind of oil finish over the bare wood would be an appropriate solution? And if so, what oil finishes are compatible with modern polyurethane or polyester finishes (I believe that whilst Roadworn have nitro finished bodies, the necks are finished in polyurethane)? Since it is a Roadworn neck I don't think it will be possible to entirely keep an oil finish off the existing lacquered areas, especially since I would likely apply it to the fingerboard as well as the back of the neck.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
