Dull-looking KH-602 Fretboard
Hey guys, need some help with my guitar. I've had my guitar at my parents' while I was away at college and haven't touched it for a year or two. I went over to pick it up and noticed the fretboard was pretty dull-looking. I cleaned the gunk and grime off with some #0000 fine steel wool and placed some lemon oil (Kyser Dr. Stringfellow) on it. After wiping it down, it looked and felt great. In the morning I noticed the fretboard looked dull again! I sprayed the fretboard down with lemon oil and let it sit for the day while I went to school. (I'm learning that I shouldn't have allowed the oil to sit) Anyway, it's looking better but still somewhat dull. Anything I should try or do differently?
Sounds like a humidity issue. It seems that your fretboard is drying out get a humidifier to avoid eventual cracking.
