I have posted this before, but I wanted to share this gain. I have three guitars that I take extremely good care of. A few years ago, I decided to clean one of my shfts with the same stuff I use on the neck of my guitars. It is a product called "Guitar Honey". You can get it at most guitar shops for about $10.00 and is well worth the investment. I use it to clean and condition my shafts, and is the best, most effective stuff I've ever used. A small bottle will last a very long time......and fits easily in your case. I also use Gibson guitar polish on the butt of my cue, to keep it protected and clean. :wink:
