Hey guys what/how do you clean your fretboard?

[sonidero]

i use credit cards to scrape that finger scum off the board

This is ILF, you mean Debit/Welfare Cards right???

My parents bought me this stuff as a stocking stuffer for Christmas: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessor ... ow-lem-oil

So apparently I use basically the same thing as everybody else here. It's great stuff though; makes an old neglected fretboard feel so nice.

I use this too and it works great. Also use a micro fiber cloth with it.

seems like Lemon Oil is a winning choice!

Lemon oil is supposedly bad for maple tho. Just fyi.

really? all I have is maple
nuts

I use Fast Fret to wipe it down, and the rag to get those nasty frets.
I started using it in 1999. I've only bought two bottles in that time. shit last. I'm satisfied with the product.

Says so on the bottle.

I don't think Maple really needs the qualities that lemon oil offers, I think maple is better with mineral oil (or fast fret as mentioned, same stuff).

Seriously, no one tried beeswax polish on rosewood? Sooo good.

[magiclawnchair]

seriously though, ive only used lemon oil on rosewood and billet polish on aluminum. ive never done anything more than wipe ebony and maple with a rag.

scrap the fretboard with a razor blade
rub 0000 steel wool over the wood
rub boiled linseed oil on the fretboard

[dubkitty]

i'm not letting steel wool anywhere near a guitar of mine, especially after buying used necks on eBay and seeing the condition of some of the fretboards. i use whatever kind of fretboard conditioner i've most recently gotten from the guitar shop. right now i'm using Planet Waves and a soft cloth.
