new jag gooy strings

terjag

I got my new 62" reissue in around 4 days ago. After running some scales or playing a tune

the tips of my fingers are stained with a grey residue. Is this normal for the new guitar or did someone with dirty fingers played it before it was shipped? Should I change the strings to 11 to 50 ?

I thought about getting a plastic garbage bag and putting it between the fretboard and the strings then put a cloth with vinegar or listerine on the top of the strings and wipe up and down to clean the strings. Do you think this would work. I leary of using paint thinner 😕 instead. If any leaks there goes the finish on the fretboard/body

Thanks for any tips

p.s. Today is Jimi Hendrix's birthday!

You need to get some stuff called lem oil its sold at most guitar shops its safe and good for the fret board and cleans the strings also i would do this and change strings.

I used lemon oil on my Strat and Tele yesterday, and they look great. (especially the Tele) 😁
