Hello again everyone, just an update on the sticky guitar neck problem.
I have received a note from the supplier of the guitar which indicates that they believe that the problem is common among Martin guitars with this sort of finish. Further that it will eventually harden and cease to be a problem.
I appreciate the response from the supplier, to date no response from Martin guitars.
Thanks again for all the advice.
Keep Plucking Martin

HELP! "Sticky" Guitar Neck

Hello Martin,
It is very possible that, in the near future, I may be looking at another Martin guitar. I have a 2002 with a gloss neck, and I have no problem with it being sticky. Another one is a 2008, but it has a satin neck finish with a gloss body (I like the satin finish on the neck a bit more) with no problems of it being sticky. Just for future information, do you know how old your guitar is? I'm just trying to get an idea of how long this "curing" time might be.
Thanks!

Martin,
Thanks for that information. That was an important piece of the puzzle that I was missing. If it isn't too much of a bother, would you re-post to this thread when you notice an improvement, even if it is a month or two down the line. I would be very interested in finding out the time frame that it takes for the finish to settle in. I have a number of friends that would be interested in this, too.
Enjoy that fine instrument. I know what you mean about your "smallish body" comment. The sound is quite remarkable in the ECs.
Thank-you!

Hello Hydroman,
Just for the record, I have the same guitar, also purchased new in January 2010 and have not had this issue (yet).

Thanks for the information. It is reassuring that this issue is probably the exception rather than the norm. I would assume that you like your new guitar as much as Martin likes his.
