Location: Dallas, GA, USA | My Standard Balladeer 12 has a glossy top, but the neck and peghead are the satin finish...the one that really looks almost unfinished. Is this finish as protective as the glossy ones? Since it feels bare, I have this nervous feeling when I play it that clammy hands may send perspiration right into the wood. I guess I'm overreacting, but does this finish require any different care? My Balladeer 1111 has a gloss black neck/head which looks like it was built yesterday, it doesn't make me uneasy to play it no matter how hot the weather.
Thanks in advance for the info... |

It was discussed here on a previous post and I THINK there's something mentioned on Ovation's webpage about periodically wiping the neck down with oil.
I'm sure there's someone else here that can be more specific. |

Location: Parkersburg, WV | The owners manual recommends three waxes:
>Trewax
>Lundmark's Clear Paste Wax
>Butcher's Bowling Alley Paste Wax
I found and use the Lundmark's. It applies easily and a 1 lb. can will last for years.
