Sticky issue........

Telemarkman · February 6th, 2006, 06:52 AM

Were sticky necks an issue with the old "Blackguards"
when they were new ?

I actually can't imagine Jimmy Bryant, Roy Watkins or
Arthur Smith saying : "S..., I hate the sticky neck on this
new guitar !"

But as long as they used a nitro finish, I guess it could have happened ? Or were the finishes so thin it really was
no issue at all ?

Somebody knows ? Ole FUZZY, Nacho maybe ? :?

Had at one time:
52 Tele
62 Custom Tele
62 Strat
68 Tele

None of them felt sticky in the way that new guitars can.

Also had:
72 Thinline....don't remember how it felt????

app. 74 brown Strat with blackguard & maple neck....don't remember it as being a good guitar that one could bond with. Sticky neck!

Craig

app. 82 Strat, red metallic body with push switches of some sort.......don't remember the model......Sticky maple neck, Remember using steel wool on it. Wasn't very smart of me!

But did you play them - especially the '52 - when they
were new ?
