my fretboard...

[guitarman23]

well i just orderd some fretboard condishiner last week and i got it(soo with 60picks regret not buying it 6 months ago so now im getting a little picky about the way the fretboard looks, i always used to just wipe the grime off after playing every day but its still got yucky(just the looks) so i was wondering, anyone got any tips? send it to a guitar(whatever) and get it sand down a little? lol dont know if i can get that done...

When I change strings, I take all the old ones off, clean the neck (front and back) with fretboard conditioner and let it soak for a minute or two. I then wipe it off with kitchen towel and bingo! Re-string and you are all set!

no thats not what im really trying to say, what i mean is that its sort of stained and i want to know how i can remove the very small layer that stainded, its not grime thats on it and i know how to clean that, but i wanted to know about the fretboard when its stained and what are my option if i want to remove, have a tech sand down a little if thats even an option.


and this is my first Morse guitar that has gone through a hell alot of playin.

From the MusicMan FAQ...

Q: How do I clean and maintain my Music Man neck?

A: To clean the neck, use a high-grade of lemon oil. If the neck is very dirty, try Murphy's Oil Soap diluted 3:1. Some players have found that using a toothbrush for cleaning is very effective.

You can also use 0000 steel wool to lightly sand the grime out. That's what did the trick on my Axis.
