Safe way to clean Petrucci guitar

[Octavarium]

Hi everyone, sorry for this ignorant question, but I recently purchased a mystic dream Petrucci 6 string, and it is my first "quality" guitar...needless to say I want to maintain it properly. First, what body polish/cleaner is recommended? And secondly, what about the frets? I used lemon oil on my older guitars fretboard, but in some research I heard it is actually BAD!? Don't want to make any mistakes so please just recommend some products or methods you guys use. Thanks.

A microfiber cloth will do most of what you need for general cleaning. I've used lemon oil without any issues but I'm sure there's gonna be lots of different opinions on that.

I think the lemon oil is great...works wonders. I use Dunlop brand and the bottle says not to use it on maple boards-so a rosewood board like a JP should be no problems!

Dude real easy, the wonder wipe products, all work great all I use now and all my axes look great. If used properly you can even use the fretboard conditioner on maple boards.

Octavarium, you're going to find a kazillion answers to this. Most are safe.

My suggestion is to go with the EB Wonder Wipes products, because those will be safe.
