Fretboard Cleaning Tips

For the cleaning and conditioning of a PRS rosewood fretboard or a PRS solid rosewood neck, we recommend the use of PRS Tung Oil. This will also clean tarnished frets as well as dirt built up on your fretboard if used with a toothbrush. After the conditioner is applied, thoroughly wipe down all of the surfaces with a soft, clean, dry cloth and seal it with a quality furniture polish. The natural oils in your hands, over time, should seal and treat the rosewood as well. Do not oil the headstock of your rosewood neck, as it may cause the headstock logo to lift.

For Maple Necks: The PRS Tung Oil and PRS Fretboard Conditioner will both work for this purpose. If you prefer something that will dry faster, then our PRS Guitar Cleaner will also work on maple boards. However would not recommend it for rosewood boards.

Dirty, corroded or worn strings will cause loss of sustain and treble frequencies and may result in faulty intonation and tuning instability. Fresh strings will not only improve the overall tone of the instrument, but it will also make the instrument more enjoyable to play. 

The PRS Guitar Care Bundle includes everything you'll need to keep your PRS guitar in top shape.  The bundle includes guitar cleaner, guitar polish, (all nitro safe) Tung Oil for the fretboard and three micro-fiber polishing cloths.
