I gotta admit I don't always wash my hands before I play. I do try to remember to wipe the fretboard down after I play, although sometimes I just pick it up and play for a while then not think about it. I have WD 40 so maybe I should try that, The temp is always around 72-75 if not cooler. Also right now there is a heat wave going through and the temp outside is 105 with a heat index of 110-115, so I am trying not to leave the house during the day. But I might want to try checking the humidity and what not. Also I don't guess I have heard of fast fret.... Any idea on how much a humidifier would cost me? And thanks for the advice.
