DunlopFretboard 65 Ultimate Lemon Oil - 4 oz.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Lemon-oil fretboard conditioner for unfinished rosewood and ebony boards. Buy it if your board looks dry, grey, or feels chalky at string changes.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Cleaning grime off a rosewood board during string changes
- Reviving a dry, grey-looking fretboard on an older guitar
- Keeping a gigged guitar's board conditioned through dry winter months
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Maple boards with gloss or satin finish — the finish blocks absorption
- Anyone wanting a body polish; this is fretboard-only
- Players who restring monthly and never see a dry board
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
4 oz bottle
One application uses a few drops. A bottle this size outlasts years of restringing on several guitars.
Detail 03
Fretboard-specific
Meant for bare wood, not lacquer. Keep it off the body finish and pickups.
Detail 04
Liquid, not a wipe or paste
You control the amount. Apply to a cloth first rather than pouring onto the board.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No applicator cloth included — use a clean lint-free rag
- 02Apply with strings off, one section of board at a time
- 03Wipe off the excess; oil left sitting can soften fret glue
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a maple fretboard?
Only if the maple is unfinished. Most maple boards are sealed with gloss or satin lacquer, and oil sits on top of the finish instead of soaking in. Wipe those clean with a dry cloth.
02How often should I oil my fretboard?
When the wood looks pale or feels dry, typically once or twice a year. Restringing is the convenient moment. Over-oiling does more harm than skipping it.
03Does this work on bass fretboards?
Yes. Any unfinished rosewood or ebony board, guitar or bass, is fair game. Same method, same small amount.
04How much do I use?
A few drops on a cloth, worked into the board, then wiped dry. It should never pool around the frets or soak the wood.
