Sounds like the ideal guitar neck for a maintenance avoider such as myself.

But I've got another question along these lines. What if I don't do anything to the fretboard? (ie, the lemon oil and steel wool) What's the worst that could happen?

The original owner had this guitar custom made ten years ago. Right after receiving it, he loaned it to a friend for a short recording project. When the guitar was returned, it went back into storage... until a few months ago when I acquired it.

The Mothership will restore the guitar. It's not the worst that can happen, but this could have been avoided.

I don't know, I clean my frets every time I change the strings. Even though I wipe down my strings every day that I use the guitar, I still get crud from the first five or seven frets. (shows that I don't play lead, huh?)

Anyway, I would go with the lemon oil. Haven't use the 000 steel wool.

The top has to be refinished and the fretboard will be renewed.

It sounds like your camera can't focus on shiny surfaces (not enough contrast). that's easy to fix. Focus on the edge of the neck, or something in the same focal range. hold the shutter release in half way, compose the shot and press the shutter release.

Do I understand that you bought a digital SLR?
Digital with interchangable lenses? What model?

Nikon shootin' fool here.
