Members intothevoid Posted October 30, 2013 Members Share Posted October 30, 2013 I've been given a Magnum acoustic with piezo pickup guitar. It needs a bit of work (new bridge pins and the nut needs to be glued back on) which is fine for me to do. However the fretboard is pretty grubby; I'd normally use Dunlop lemon oil to clean a rosewood fretboard but it already looks pretty hydrated and I don't want to overdo it. Is there anything I can use to get the crap off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Opa John Posted October 30, 2013 Members Share Posted October 30, 2013 You could use a very, very fine steel wool, but Scotch Brite pads work just as well without all of the steel wool dust getting into all the nooks and crannies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
