Cleaning Neck with strings on?

[ner0z]

I have a new Jem 7vwh and I want to lemon oil the neck but I dont want to take all the strings off.... can I do it with them on and just make sure that I wipe them all down?

Thanks

Just pop the bridge off via Rich's guide on ibanezrules.com and do it that way. Believe me, I thought the procedure would be hard but it's simple as pie.

God I am such a Chicken.. Am I reading that right where you tune up to pitch lock the nut and then remove the Trem? wont the Strings rip it out?

Thanks

Did you look at the pictures?

Strings can take a lot more damage than you would think...you'll be fine man!

Rich did it on a DNA, I'm sure you can manage a 7VWH

The other solution for the meek (like me) is to do it at string change time. Take off two strings at a time, do whatever you're going to do to 33% of the fretboard, replace with new strings, and repeat for the next 2 pairs of strings. No drama at all. Now to work up enough nerve to... gulp... do it Rich's way

I as thinking about doing like this tho one string at a time LOL LOL
I just need to get comfortable with the guitar.... I guess If I can tear a Computer apart and rebuild them I should be able to do this....

Doesnt seem like that big of a deal to do it, i've done that on several guitars. its so much easier. But i've never done it on one with a spring lock though.
