D'Addario Lemon Oil Cleaner & Conditioner for Unfinished Dark Fingerboards

D'Addario Lemon Oil - Clean and nourish your guitar’s fretboard.

D’Addario Lemon Oil is formulated to remove dirt, grime, grease and build-up from unfinished wood fingerboards — such as rosewood or ebony — while conditioning the wood to maintain moisture and prevent drying or cracking. Regular, gentle use helps preserve the wood’s integrity over time and keeps your instrument playing and feeling smooth.

Restore and protect natural wood properties.

By cleaning away residues and re-introducing moisture, Lemon Oil helps the fingerboard resist the drying effects of climate, sweat and repeated playing. This conditioning reduces the risk of shrinkage, fret end protrusion or rough fret edges that can arise when the wood dries out.

Ideal for periodic maintenance — gentle but effective.

A few drops applied to a clean cloth, wiped across the fingerboard, then buffed off leaves a subtle, healthy sheen without build-up. Because the oil is intended for dark, unfinished woods only, it avoids damaging finished necks or light woods. Used sparingly and properly, it is a simple yet valuable maintenance step for guitarists and bassists alike.
