« Great way to keep your fretboard in shape. »
Published on 05/11/10 at 13:17Most guitarists know that keeping the fretboard in shape is a big deal, as they can get irreparably damaged with not enough care and attention. Cleaning them with every string change is definitely a must, but so is keeping them conditioned. This spray will allow you to keep your fretboard in good shape for years, and will prevent the fretboard from drying out and being dented, chipped, or scratched.
This is important because allowing these things to happen to your fretboard will produce intonation problems such as dead frets and strings getting caught in valleys in the fretboard. Preventing this is of the utmost importance. I almost had my Strat's fretboard destroyed because of neglect, back when I was young and stupid. The repair specialist had to sand down my fretboard and he said that with any further sanding, the fretboard would have to be replaced. I was glad that I found this spray at that time, since I haven't had a problem since.
The best way to do it is to spray it on a rag, leave the rag sitting for a few minutes, and then wipe the fretboard down. It's better to clean the fretboard with damp cloth prior to applying the conditioner. Putting too much on will leave your fretboard wet and a little grimy, and though it won't hurt the fretboard, your strings might suffer and your hands will get sticky.
A great product for people who care about keeping their guitars in shape.
