ORIGINAL: Morante My guitar is more than 30 years old and it never ocurred to me to oil the fingerboard, which still seems in good condition. What am I doing wrong?? That’s because you probably play your guitar and the body oil from your hands and forearms get on the fingerboard. Because you’re correct, most of the time fingerboards don’t need to be touched with any product. In fact, oiling the fingerboard attracts dirt. There are ways to clean the gunk that can build up next to the frets, but you only need to do that once in a while during a string change. The proprietary products sold for fingerboard cleaning are unnecessary. It’s like how my grandfather described certain fishing lures, “tarted up to catch the fisherman and not the fish.”
