Thanks for the info dMac, so did he just sand them down and thats it?

I think only Eddie would know that one. ;-D

My own experience shows if you give it a light tub with fine sandpaper to get rid of obvious roughness, it doesn't take long to polish it with your own sweat and oil. Obviously that depends on how often you play.

(Fine sandpaper to me is above 600 grit.)

My advice Benj, try just sanding the neck with 600-800 grit, then maybe 1200 grit, until it's mirror smooth. Then play it... often. See how it goes. If it's not working for you, remove your own oil and grease and then try some different finishes (wax, satin finish, etc). See what does work.

Don't forget to report back with your findings.
