specracer986 64 Posted February 17, 2018 Is there any? I've seen posts of guys saying they clean something with contact cleaner and a toothbrush, but I'm not really sure where they are cleaning. I ask, because I have one Variax that doesn't sound as good as my other, and I'm trying to eliminate all the variables. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amsdenj 586 Posted February 18, 2018 I use a soft toothbrush to clean the piezo pickups during a string change. Its important that they are clean, and well seated into the bridge pieces. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
specracer986 64 Posted February 18, 2018 Thanks, I've never checked under the hood. I guess I'll have to lift a saddle and do some investigating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

specracer986 64 Posted February 20, 2018 reduce moisture I always leave a Silica Gel pack inside my Variax case - to absorb moisture in the air. I'm in L.A. and I'm more concerned with keeping my guitars hydrated. I keep a humidifier going most of the winter. Otherwise I'm dealing with buzzy necks. It's 33% in my practice room right now. Just about right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
