I bought this new Squier Tele a few months back and like most new guitars the frets were a bit tarnished and dull. The guitar plays great and since I was ready to change the strings, I decided to clean up the fretboard and polish the frets. This isn't exactly a tutorial, it's just the general steps I take when cleaning up the neck on a newer(non-vintage/non-collectible) instrument.
