Glad we cleared that up then
Certainly, just a bit of sand paper and elbow grease can get rid of a sticky finish. It's quick, easy, and is a very "do it yourself" kinda job. I did make a post about re profiling which is a much more involved thing and what I was talking about paying $100 for. When you mentioned that one could pay that or spend the money on gear, that's where it gets confusing imho. I was suggesting the $100 for profiling the neck, not suggesting paying someone $100 for just using a bit of sandpaper to get rid of the finish on the top layer of wood. Best to be clear after all lest we confuse the GMCer that we are trying to help.
Apparently it's not clear yet.
Firstly. Check post #9. I said abrasive pad and not sandpaper. The abrasive pad I use is equivalent to about a 400 grit sandpaper.
Secondly. Check post #8. Looking back at your post about re-profiling. You stated it cost about $75.
Thirdly. Check post #10. The $100 price for running an abrasive pad on the back of a guitar neck to slicken it up was out of your head , not mine. I was simply using your figure in my response (post #11).
I don't don't know of a tech that would charge anything at all for that little trick. They would either do it for you at no charge or tell you how to do it yourself just like I have here. Maybe your tech is different , I don't know.
At any rate, I don't see how it was I that was being confusing.
