I was re-stringing my Grassroots G-LP-50S & chanced upon the opportunity to share how a dry fretboard looks like.
A closer look at the extent of dryness; the white patches/ bits there are dry spots. Note the overall hue of the fretboard wood before treatment.
The dry spots are given 2 coatings of Beemis Wood Conditioner (the same fluid used for this proses: CLICK), a 15min drying time was observed after each application. It clearly benefited from this re-moisturizing process, the darker fretboard looked much 'healthier' thereafter: Love your instrument, it'll serve you well.
Still on the issue of dryness, my throat had been excessively dry lately- it's the haze from the forest clearings in Indonesia.

where do you buy beemis wood conditioner?
Home-Fix DIY store :-)
it works just the same as lemon oil right??
yes sir :-) it works just as well. the BEEMIS fluid i am using in the mean time is a general wood moisturizer, not specifically for guitar-related stuff.
how do treat the white patches? i tried solutions such as Lemon Oi, Old English Wood Conditioner but the white patches are still there.
i see u that u removed the white patches entirely!
hi boss :-)
i actually use a soft toothbrush to make sure the fluid seeps into the pores he he... also, i apply at least 2 coatings & leave at least 30min of drying- this is the quick treatment method.
it works!! but that's one tough job when there are too many white patches, tiring to brush one by one haha..
thanks for the help!
for the love of our equipment, patience is necessary :-)
yeah, and at last, now it looks good! thanks again!
