I don't usually have too much of a problem with corrosion, but I went a looong time between changing strings recently so the corrosion was very noticeable with this change. And the thing that struck me was that corrosion was far far worse between the end of the fretboard and the bridge rather than in the fretboard area. That is, corrosion was worst where I normally pick (where I would think my skin would make less frequent contact), and fairly light where my skin is constantly making contact (where I'm fretting notes).
Or does this mean that my fingertips don't sweat that much, but the meat of my hand does? Or that my right hand makes much more than incidental string contact?
