fevitz GC OZ Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hi , ive read that the best way to clean the fretboard of a graphite neck is with WD-40 . I was wondering after this is applied then wiped off , would a lemon oil application be advisable (and also wiped off) prior to putting strings on it ? Ive been using a fret polishing cloth for the gunk build up , then used lemon oil , thoroughly wiped it off after leaving it an hour or so before restringing it . It makes the neck look like a sheet of glass . If anyone has any other tips on cleaning i would be very glad to hear them . thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holdsvai Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi just use WD-40 and nothing else (no water or worse: alcohol). Put a little bit on a cloth and wipe your fretboard clean. I do not use any additional product. One doesn't know how different products react with each other, once they are absorbed in the phenolic fretboard.

Bob Isaac Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I use Fret Doctor on all mine no matter what the wood is. I think some products should not be used on some woods. Others here will confirm this or not. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holdsvai Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi Bob the Steinberger neck is not made of wood at all. It is made of a composite material and the fretboard is phenolic. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
