I usually put some Luthier's choice conditioner on my rosewood and ebony boards.. What do you guys use to clean the resin-impregnated walnut boards of the Adamas? I have darker areas of the board from my fingers moving over the frets. Of course, the areas are still very bright and clean where I don't fret too often. My question is, what will remove these darker smudges to get the beautiful walnut to look like new again?.. Thanks as always for your help Ernie Standingovation Posted 2005-07-10 10:51 AM (#144807 - in reply to #144806) Subject: Re: Attn: Adamas Owners, what do you clean your fretboard with?
