Planet Waves Hydrate Fingerboard Conditioner

Does the job at hydrating the fretboard. Easy to use and should last quite a few uses!

I have owned a guitar for 20+ years and never thought of things like maintenance before but as I get older and no better at playing my thoughts have turned towards learning a little bit more about maintenance and set up of guitars. This was also spurned on by my son taking up the guitar and being much better than I ever was and will ever be. I still have the edge though because he doesn't have the patience to do the boring bits like changing strings, adjusting the set up and general maintenance. I have used this on a few of our old guitars which were well past dirty - I didn't realise until I started cleaning them. They came up a treat with a bit of lighter fluid and elbow grease - the cloth looked like I'd de greased an engine with it!!! I used the conditioner and the difference was very surprising. It felt better and somehow made the guitar look younger! It should last for ages - you don't need much and I will be using it regularly from now one, particularly when I change strings etc. Nice producet and good service.

Yeah, pretty good! Will last for ages. Quick spritz or two and your rosewood parts will come up like new. Just remember to wait a while after the initial wipe off because rosewood will continue to sweat some out, so you'll need a few good dry wipes. I don't like using naptha on rosewood boards so I just use the initial application as the cleaning phase, then a couple of hydrating sessions with the product. Suppose it depends on how grimey your board is but I don't think you need to buy a separate cleaner.

Fantastic product. I ordered a guitar off ebay "New" - it might have been new but it was soo dry that it must have been stored in a kilm. This really did the trick, hydrated the fingerboard and gave the rosewood as deep brown that looks brand new. Read the instructions, you really don't need that much. I used to cloths, one for the application and one for the drying.

This is really good. As others have said you only need a tiny bit. The bottle has a dripper type cap so I tend to just gently tap the bottle top in a few places up and down the fingerboard the work it in. Worked great on a couple of rosewood boards that are years old and never been treated. Now much slicker and looks good as well. Old boards may need a few treatments but this small bottle will last you ages

Used this to clean up the fretboard of my old Yamaha acoustic guitar. An instrument that has been left neglected for many a long year. It cleaned up the fretboard very nicely (quite grubby) and brought out a richness of tone in the rosewood that was lacking or had faded away over the years. Economical to use - one small bottle will clean many fingerboards.

Great stuff..hadn't cleaned the frets properly on my classical guitar for 20 years and after restringing and cleaning fretboard gently with very fine wire wool I used this conditioner....andwow! It looked absolutely amazing. Absorbed really well into the wood and didn't smell so could use in the house ok. I also used plant waves other 3 products on the rest of my guitar to really give it the treat it deserved. Looks as if I'd just bought it again! Highly recommended

I was a little apprehensive at first but this is actually a great product. I only used a few drops on a rag and it was more than enough to do my entire fretboard before I restrung it. The results are substantially noticeable and has brought out the deeper tones on my fretboard making it look new again. For the price and how long this will last year I really don't see a downside.

It does just what it says! Cleans the fretboard really well, and I could actually tell it seemed like it was keeping the fretboard more clean for longer. The packaging was also very nice, all sealed up in a little bag to I assume safeguard from leaks. The one thing that they could improve on I think is the nozzle in which the liquid comes out, it comes out a little bit awkwardly but that isn't enough to lose a star for me. Very happy with my purchase and will be buying it again! If you feel like this was a helpful review, please don't forget to vote helpful. I would very much appreciate it.
