Wie pflegt ihr eure Gitarren?
Es hat doch was meditatives das gute alte Lemon Oil auf das dunkle Griffbrett zu verteilen…
Erzählt mal was benutzt ihr für Produkte? Tücher, Werkzeug? welche Workarrounds macht ihr oder könnt ihr empfehlen?
Ich plaudere auch aus meinem Nähkästchen:

Das benutze ich um meine Bundstäbchen zu polieren. Schleifen wäre zuviel gesagt.

meine Gitarrenpolitur für lackierte E Gitarren finde ich leider nicht mehr.
Meine Routine (die wahrscheinlich nicht besonders ist):
Saiten werden abgeschnitten (vorher etwas lockern)
Bünde werden mit dem Schleifstein poliert und anschließend das Griffbrett (bei Palisander) mit Lemonoil geölt. meine Fender hat ein lackierten Ahornhals da mache ich das nicht. Den Body der Acoustic Gitarre reibe ich auch etwas mit Lemon Oil ein. überschüssiges Öl wird mit einem Tuch wieder aufgenommen.
Staub wird mit einer Zahnbürste aus allen Ritzen entfernt. Schrauben festgezogen wo sie sich gelockert haben. Gitarrenlack wird poliert. bisher habe ich leider nichts gefunden um die Metallteile wie Brücke etc zu polieren und zu pflegen. bin für Tipps dankbar.
Gerade das Bünde polieren mit dem Schleifstein ist für mich ein Gamechanger geworden. bespielbarkeit nimmt zu und die Bünde sehen aus wie am ersten Tag
Dann kommen die Saiten drauf, die gut gedehnt werden und anschließend Halskrümmung und Saitenlage Check.

I’ll take the Duesenberg fingerboard lotion for the fingerboard. Liqui Moly LM47 Long-term fat for the Knife Candles of the FR. Nen Kleck’s sink and water for the satin neck of my other guitar and and Musicnomad the Guitar One for the body of the gloss guitar. I have the feeling with the latter that sinki would also be loose.
I bought a Thomann microfibre cloth for 5€. Was of course not better than the next best 2€ cloth from Edeka.
The TOMs and the FR sometimes get me a sprayer ballistol and 5bar compressed air from the compressor.
I used to have the fun of polishing some sort of polish from the car trade. That’s what I did when I told people who said on the net that what would do. Meanwhile I don’t do this anymore because the experience shows that this is definitely too much work and too much dirt for too short benefit. I’ve been thinking about slipping gum, but I haven’t done it for laziness yet. Trends remain.
I used to clean the fingerboard with an old toothbrush. My guitar teacher told me it was good. Also, the experience has shown me that an effect takes place more on the imaginary level.
To Lemon Oil from Dunlop I say that this is suitable for anyone who wants to spend too much money on an ineffective product and who doesn’t like his guitar. Long explanation here: https://www.muser-board.de/threads/griffbrettpflege-was-ist-lemon-oil.679543/ Relevant are above all page 1 and the 2nd half of S.4.
Thank you for the link! I’ve heard this a couple times with the white oil, but I missed it. How does the composition look at the Duesenberg product and you know where to get it?
Do you have a link for the Ballistol / Liqui Moly and where to get the Dusenberg oil?
Otherwise, any other fingerboard oil can also take for what was made for fingerboards. Not the Dunlop Lemon Oil.
I don’t know. That’s not what it says.
You will probably get the Ballistol and LM in any building market or car parts trade.

My guitars look like they’re playing, lying around or flying in the corner… Nevertheless, from time to time, I give them some Lemon Oil and a soft microfibre cloth. You just play better.
I take care of the fringes rather rarely, and then only with a soft polishing attachment (is actually intended for fingernails, I think) until they shine again to a great extent.
Often I free the guitars with a large, soft brush of dust. Most of the time, this is enough to make them look good again if no change of strings is necessary. I almost never keep my guitars in the suitcase, so they’ll get dusty quickly.
During a change of strings, I usually take off the two high strings without cutting them off and put them back into my suitcase as a quick replacement. In my opinion, the sound does not change seriously and often keeps them some time. Then I first free the fingerboard of dirt, usually I do it with a pointed pledging – just walks simple and does not damage the wood. Then I oil it, if necessary, with Lemon Oil one. From time to time, I also polish the bush with, but this is a cosmetic thing for me. Looks more beautiful;)
I clean the body with this care agent and this polishing cloth. I don’t know whether the care agent does anything, but smells good and clean and smooth, the paint will definitely get rid of it. My old Framus (beginning of 60s, with Schellack varnish) does it also nix, so is not aggressive.
This with the two high strings is a good idea! very nice. thank you.
I have already noticed a difference between the poles. Sound perhaps less but playability was better. This grindstone also makes extremely much dirt, which is why I am superior to exchanging it with 04er steel wool.
I wipe my guitars (1 e-, 2 acoustics) from time to time and before each band sample with a damp cloth. Not more, but I think a bit more care would do very well, especially my electric guitar.

So far, I’m just gonna take that nh towel, go feel 100 times over the strings and that was. More than a colleague of mine, it makes GARNICHTS. But for me a little bit too little, would like to upgrade to something that better cleanses the strings and maybe so nen fretboard wisch dingens, don’t always want to wait until I wash the strings to clean something
Lemon Oil and Fast Fret.
No more needs
Do you really need Lemon oil when you almost use fret?
Lemon Oil for the fingerboard, Fast Fret for the strings!
mostly not at all.
Change the strings.
Oils are enougha year, so much you don’t have to do
Not at all! My guitars “live” and have a “life”… and you look at the guitars too!
All my guitars (of which I have over 50 pieces) have an individual, female name … The only care is new strings – but rather rarest!
I give a guitar back and forth for cleaning – if it really is (!) necessary. What the boys do? I don’t know! XD
A tactics is not a question either. I personally like to do this.
Everyone can do this as he/she/it wants… 🙂 *high5
Here two other users have already replied to “Lemon Oil”! I find interesting, especially since I have been playing guitar for about 30 years and have never heard of “Lemon Oil” until now/now! XD… seems to be a miracle remedy without the guitars can’t survive!? o
Since I don’t know “Lemon Oil”, I’m not going to smear it for the first time on my 1956 Framus guitar… sorry! It also looks like NEW!
The Dunlop is definitely not and does not belong to guitars you like. And if they use that, give them links and right one of me.
Thank you for the clarification!
As written: I give my guitars back and forth for cleaning. I’ll ask if they use “Lemon Oil.” But as mentioned, I have never heard (!) of it! I really don’t say anything! ♪
Lemon Oil is virtually the Swiss pocket knife for guitar care. It is always intended for the fingerboard. Since it naturally dissolves fat deposits as an oil, you can also wonderfully clean the bushes and, if necessary, even the mechanics. Most (closed-pored) paintings in concert guitars come with the stuff also wonderfully clear, so you can also polish the body with it.
Haha so far I wouldn’t go and also depends on many factors. But Lemon oil can keep rosewood fingerboards fresh. But you do not need any wood and if the fingerboard is painted anyway.
