In this guide, we will show you how to clean maple fretboards. Cleaning maple fretboards are different depending on if they have a glossy or raw finish. Cleaning them the right way will remove dirt and grime from the frets as well as prolong the guitar\u2019s life. Follow the instructions below which correspond to your maple fretboard\u2019s finish type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
IMPORTANT!<\/strong> Not all fretboard cleaners are designed for guitars and some will even damage the maple fretboard\u2019s finish. Only use a compatible maple fretboard cleaner recommended from our shop<\/strong><\/a>. Follow your guitar\u2019s manufacturer\u2019s recommendations for the best results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Finished maple fretboards can be cleaned and polished with any standard guitar cleaner<\/a> intended for finished woods. Do not apply abrasive materials which may damage the finish and only use lint-free, preferably microfiber, cloths. You can prevent buildup by cleaning the neck and fretboard after every single use, making sure to collect any debris and moisture. For a deeper clean, remove all the strings or just loosen them for easier access to the entire maple fretboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFinished or glossy maple fretboard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
