DrFingeryaguts Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Hi, I have an old beet up 1980's Hondo Les Paul, and the fret board has lost it's fake ebony. Well almost, there's bits of black here and there; and I was wondering if there was a way to clean it up a bit? Bleach maybe? What ya think?

ezbass Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Lemon oil is the normal go to for fretboards: Dunlop, D’Addario are just two makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrFingeryaguts Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 No I meant, to get rid of the remains of the black....what ever it was. Stain? Used lemon oil, no good, it just cleaned it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Ah, I see, sorry. Hand sanitiser seems to strip off Sharpie ink and the like, no problem. Maybe give that a go, at least the fretboard will be germ free if it doesn’t work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
