I was wondering how often we should treat our different neck boards, I know it will depend on use, humidity, etc. but on an average what would you think is best Patrick and/or Todd?

Ebony
Pau Ferro (This board will dry out also and Todd treated mine when he changed the strings)
Maple (Mine is coated but should it be treated with something or just cleaned?)

Ebony - Should be watched for dryness if you live in a place with low humidity.

Pau Ferro - I change strings every 3 months or so. It just depends on the time of year. Sometimes I can go without conditioning between string changes... winter time when it is dryer, I may condition it once a month. Regardless, like Todd, I make it part of my string changing regimen. I always clean and condition when I change strings.

Maple - If finished with the gloss finish (like the Black Pearl - it's got a coat of clear poly over it like the rest of the body) then just use the same wax/cleaners you use on the rest of the body.

If matte finished, Formby's lemon oil products work well.

Hey guys! Soo about two months ago I defretted my Holoflash Spector Legend Classic 5 (Korean model I believe). The defretting process went as planned and came out rather nice but then realized I had some truss rod problems.. soo I took it into my guy and just got it back yesterday! :hyper: She plays better than ever! Here's a couple pictures I snapped out in the grass.
