Guitar Care: String Cleaning Did you know that a clean fretboard will help extend the life of your strings? If you change your strings without cleaning your fretboard, the bottom of your new strings will pick up any grime and other buildup left on the fretboard as you play, which can shorten the lifespan of your strings by as much as 30 percent. If you haven’t cleaned your fretboard in a while, the next time you change your strings, take a moment to clean the surface of the fretboard and frets with super-fine steel wool (0000 grade), followed by a touch of boiled linseed oil (a little goes a long way). For a step-by-step refresher, see our informative “Clean and Restring” demonstration video (Parts 1 & 2) on the Taylor website.
