Fingerboards
Ebony fingerboards contain natural oils that may dry out over time. Sharp or protruding
fret edges as well as a lighter appearance in the color of the fingerboard may be indications
of dry wood.
In either case, you may restore the wood to its original luster and prevent It from drying out
by applying ome lemon oil periodically. Remove all the strings, then apply a small amount of
the oil to a clean fat-free cloth. Rub the oil into the entire fingerboard (only a small amount
is needed). Wipe the fingerboard
immediately to remove excess oil using a clean lint-free dry cloth.
