Fretboard Conditioner

What do you guys use on your rosewood boards to keep them looking good and in shape?

I use a tiny bit of lemon oil, once in a long while. Not everyone agrees, but it has worked for me.

If it looks remotely dry when I change strings, I put a tiny amount on a cloth and rub it in. Let it sit for a bit, then wipe off any excess. Restring and back in business.

I use MusicNomad F-One oil maybe once or twice a year since living in Colorado there's no humidity out here.

I use the Gorgomyte cloth. Usually on any used guitar I buy, and then as needed, every couple of years, after that. Works great.

Boiled linseed oil. Rub it in, let it sit for a while, and then wipe it down.

Fret Doctor, keeps them nice and on the darker side.

An $8 bottle of this will last a lifetime.

Here is my favorite by a mile (and I have Howard's and FretDoctor).



I think I got it at Walgreens. A little goes a long way. Wipe on, let sit for a few minutes. Wipe off. Massage in with your fingers. Smells great, lasts a long time with a sleet sheen, never feels oily.

Same here.

What does PRS use in the factory, as I can sense a distinction smell from the board. It’s not a bad smell, just wondering what they use.

And another user here. Great product.
For those using other products, especially linseed oil, take a look at his commentary. Food for thought.

A bottle of F-One just arrived. Thanks for the advice!

I use the PRS fretboard conditioner and cleaner. I'm surprised no one else does.

I have some, after a few uses I went back to F-One, just seemed to work better for me.
