What do you put on rosewood fretboard?
Clean the fretboard – Use fine steel wool to remove stubborn gunk from Rosewood/Ebony/Pau Ferro fretboards, and apply Lemon Oil to re-hydrate. Use a damp cloth to clean Maple fretboards. Polish the guitar body – For Poly-finished (gloss) guitars, spray guitar polish onto a soft cloth and wipe down.
Can I use tung oil on rosewood fretboard?
Rosewood has plenty of oil as it is. Just let it be. Only sesame oil, sparingly and infrequently ala desert rose. Do not put Tung or any other oil on the fingerboard.
Can you use water on rosewood fretboard?
Yes, you can use water in the form of a clean damp-only cloth. I use the dampened cloth with elbow grease and a dampened soft toothbrush to clean the board and the areas around the frets - rub-a dub-dub - then buff dry with a clean dry cloth. You can do this at every string change if you need to.
