I know this is probably beyond a dumb question I’m overthinking, but any special considerations to take when cleaning a guitar?
Finally had a string pop on my main electric after like 10 years, figured I should just replace that whole set. And while they’re off, might as well give a nice touch up all around.
The basic obvious approach I have in mind is to use combos of paper towels, q-tips, warm soapy water, and isopropyl to remove any gunk I can see in any crevices, wipe down the surfaces, maybe polish any metal.
Any spots I might overlook? Do I need to be worried about water or alcohol coming in contact with the fretboard or any part of it?


Do not need to use name brand anything. Cotton swabs work just fine.
