I did a cleaning test on my 09 "62 jag. When I got it in the strings were gooy and my finger tips were grey and light grey after playing. ☹
I got a plastic Barnes and Noble bag and put it between the strings and the fretboard. Next I slide a paper napkin between the strings and the bag. I sprayed Mr Clean antibacterial that cuts grease on the string/napkin. With another napkin I sprayed a little of the Mr Clean on it. Then I wiped from the nut to the neck pick up. The strings look shiney bright. I pulled the bag/napkin from under the strings and no mess. 😀
Off to to do more scales finger dexterity exercises and practice Mr Moto more
When I have to change strings do you recommend flat wound 11-50's by Fender or D adderio? Sometimes I do some heavy dive bomb tremolo action. 😎
Thanks again for info
