The pics you see of my Ibanez AGB200 prior to this posting were all featuring post-treatment rosewood fretboard. The fretboard you see above was the condition during treatment, I had re-conditioned half of the fretboard leaving the other half as it was. This (dry version) was the showroom condition so you can imagine how much drying took place in an air-conditioned display space.

Hi Sub!
On the topic, would like to seek ur advice if I may.
I have a guitar fitted with an Ebony fretboard. My friends told me that to keep it in shape that I should regularly keep the fretboard moist and not let it dry up orelse it'll crack.
Is this true?
And what do can I use to keep my fret board "moist" ?
Thanks in Advance Bro sub! =)
back at the factory, the manufacturer had made sure the ebony material cointained the necessary moisture to see it through some time before the next conditioning becomes necessary. rosewood is more porous than ebony & it requires less frequent conditioning.
recondition your ebony fretboard when you see dry spots, use regular wood conditioner or lemon oil but the former is preferred :-)
