Cleaning day at Spanky's

[just strum]

Strum,

If you're playing a rosewood or other porous wood fretboard, a little dab of oil once in a while makes them happy. The bodies will live without polish; your fretboard will thank you for the rehydration.........

Plank,

What sort of oil are you referring to?

Lemon oil and bore oil for wind instruments all seem to treat the rosewood nicely. You just need a little bit and only maybe once a year too depending on how heavy handed, sweaty and dirty your hands are when you play. Be sure to clean the fingerboard before application.

I like a good automotive paste wax once in a while too on the painted or heavily clear coated body. Meguiar's was my favorite for a long time.

Plank,

I use woodwind bore oil. I'll put a small dot of it between every fret, rub it into the wood, let it set for a minute and wipe off any excess. I do this about once or twice a year and I've had my little 1.5 oz bottle for quite a while now.
