Taking Care
My Fender F-65 has seen its fair share of campfires and needs a good cleaning.
Now that the strings are off, I can get at the entire fret board and all the nooks and crannies where dirt and grime congregate.
Cleaning The Guitar
Cleaning Solution
I am using a deep cleaning cream polish that was recommended to me by my guitar guy at the local music store. I suggest you do the same.
Put a small amount of the polish onto a clean cloth and rub it in a circular motion. After the polish dries to a haze, remove it with a clean cloth.
Ahhhh....... Beautiful!

The Hohner Harmonica Neck Holder fits harmonicas up to 7-1/2" long, has a nickel plated finish and fits any neck shape.
