Buy the Dunlop brand Lemon oil. The applicator tip makes it less messy than spray and it works like a charm!

It took me a while to realize that I had to press the tip down to get oil to seep onto the tip
But compared to the spray I was using previously, the Dunlop oil made my rosewood fretboard take on this absolutely beautiful dark hue...

woodwind bore oil is supposed to work well, too.

I use the Dunlop stuff, since it came in a big kit I got for Christmas. It makes ebony look absolutely stunning, with this deep, organic black color.

Don't feel bad man. The same thing happened to me . The Dunlop did the same to my fretboard.

ak33 is on a distinguished road
I've never used fretboard oil on my guitars. Why is it done? and what will happen if I don't oil my fretboard?

LUCKY NUMBER 7
