Quick! What do I use to freshen up an ebony board!

sakeido · 01-20-2008, 05:20 PM

I'm leaving for the store right quick here and need to know what to use to freshen an ebony board. My trusty old Jackson is so dried out from countless hours of playing it that I'm giving it the full steel wool treatment on the frets and a good cleaning today, but what do I use to hydrate the board again? Will just any ol brand of lemon oil will work?

Just make sure it's pure- no need for additives.

soldierkahn · 01-20-2008, 05:30 PM

i prefer the results from Old English Lemon Oil...... no additives

I use lemon oil on my Soloist. Forget the brand name....

EDIT: This stuff.

That's what I use on all my fretboards, and I've been really happy with it.

I used some of that Old English Lemon Oil. Works wonders, it still a little lighter than it was when it was new, but I think the dye Jackson puts on their import ebony boards is starting to fade a bit. Plays better now for sure though.

You've got your head down You've got your eyes closed You look so pitiful now Your body encrusted with ash Breath heavy with toxins Hair singed and matted Clothes frayed and burnt You are left with nothing
