Can anyone tell me the best way to clean up a grimy albeit good guitar? I just got a good deal on a 2nd hand
Yamaha, great condition physically, just a few scratches on body, but fairly dirty. How can I clean the guitar, and once
it's clean, can I put oil on the frets/neck to freshen up the wood (what kind of oil); what's the best cleaner to use. And
is there a way to clean up the nicks and scratches on the body. I think the guitar is from the 70's. FG-110-1

-Use "lemon Oil" on te neck, i used to work at a music store called Electron and they used lemon oil on the necks.

Wash it with soap and water!! Surprising isn't it.
I have a Great accustic guitar and that is what I use(outside only). I then use a soft cloth to spread on Teak oil Leave it a while and then rub it in with clean lint.
You'll be amazed a the result.
I also have a few scratches which I polish over. Remember it's an old guitar, it shouldn't look brand new. After a few polish sesions the scratches will not be so obvious
