Frequently Asked Questions
What types of fingerboards is the GLC-104 safe to use on?
The conditioner is designed for unfinished, porous wood fingerboards such as rosewood and ebony. It should not be used on finished or sealed surfaces like maple fingerboards with a lacquer coating.
How often should I apply fingerboard conditioner?
For most players, conditioning once or twice a year during string changes is sufficient. Fingerboards in very dry climates or those showing visible dryness may benefit from slightly more frequent application.
How do I apply the Goby Labs Fingerboard Conditioner?
Remove the strings, apply a small amount of conditioner to the fingerboard with a soft cloth, let it soak in for a few minutes, then wipe off any excess. A little goes a long way with this formula.
Will this conditioner leave a greasy residue on the fingerboard?
When used as directed, the orange oil formula absorbs into the wood and should not leave a greasy film. Wiping off excess product after a few minutes ensures a clean, conditioned surface.
