Silenced Fred Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Fret Doctor is great stuff. My fretboard is starting to look a little dried out. Just want to prevent that from happening. I will look for it at Guitar Center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I think you have to order FretDoctor on the guys website. I'm pretty sure GC doesn't carry it. Do a google search to find the guys site and get it. It's worth holding out on a string change for a couple days. That's from what I hear at least. I'm gonna order some too. My fretboard needs a good cleaning/ conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 We've been here a bit before... Fret Doctor is essentially the same stuff the guy sells for use in wooden woodwind instruments ranging from fifes to very expensive clarinets, etc. Keeps relatively natural oils in the wood, etc., etc., etc. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Yes, the doctor is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Fret Doctor is premium bore oil. A bottle costs $10, large costs $20. You can also buy other brands of bore oil for much less. I bought one from the net (can't remember the site now) for just $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Lemon Oil's good. You can get a lifetime supply at Walmart for next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 While we are on the subject. Does the Fret Doctor darken the board like Lemon Oil does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 After a good scrubbing with mild soapy water (place bar of Ivory soap in a bowl with hot tap water running into it. Once the bowl is full remove the soap. Rise well. Then, Formby's Lemon Oil. Go easy on it. Once a year, if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabba2203 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I used to use Linseed oil on my fretboards until I got my custom guitars that have an oil rub finish on them and I started using Dr. Duck's "Ax Wax". It's an oil, not a wax. LINK HERE No Abrasives, No Wax, No Silicones, No Synthetics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
