i'll stick to my gibson fretboard conditioner.

afterall these decades no one using gibson has complained about fretboard cracking anyway

btw, i wonder if soon that 'doctor' will come up with some food stuff so you dont sweat since its acidic too.

here's some threads. there was once a long technical discussion abt it, cant find it anymore.

and no one mentioned anything bad about gibson's as well

I see, that is a great read !

Thanks

May I know where you guys get your Gibson Fretboard Conditioner? And how much is it?


Wow I really didn't know about fretboard actually reacting to different "oil".. I actually started using Lemon Oil and continued using it because it was one of the only "oil" that easily cleaned up the dirt on my fretboards that I did not clean for a very long time before.. LOL

ah i see one of the concerns is the frets corroding part.
thats never a problem for gibson as they use higher quality fretwire.
i dunno about newer ibanez, but older ones do rust.

Sorry, i'm a little lost here..

yeah..this sh1t i am also confuse...

how do people select their treatment for their fingerboard...

does it depend on ..

A.Wood ( maple , birdseye , ebody , rosewood )
B Finishes ( satin , poly , vintage etc )
C. Both

how should i treat maple fingerboards..

maple fretboards dont need treatment.
there is also a way to clean dirty maple fretboards, tho i didnt bother to remember cos i dont like maple

How about Fender rosewood fretboard? Can use Fret Doctor also? Where to get it and the price? Do we need special cloth to polish it? Thanks in advance.

I've heard alot of people use steel wool to clean their maple fretboard when the dirt really gets down deep...
Although it doesn't really sound like a good idea to me.

Ok, I think this thread already served it's purpose regarding the RG guitar...... I'll close this thread down (unless TS has a good excuse, which in that case please PM me), and all other conversations can be continued in our usual Guitar Phreaks thread.
