Dry (Part 2)

The pics you see of my Ibanez AGB200 prior to this posting were all featuring post-treatment rosewood fretboard. The fretboard you see above was the condition during treatment, I had re-conditioned half of the fretboard leaving the other half as it was. This (dry version) was the showroom condition so you can imagine how much drying took place in an air-conditioned display space.

Dry (Part 1)

I had my Smash S2 Lite out Saturday night but couldn't bring myself to play it because:

1. Strings were rusty. I recall not wiping the strings down after play the last time & left the guitar out on the stand.
2. Fretboard was dry. As seen above, the fretboard became dry rather quickly especially so when the last few days were some of the hottest days this month. This is another proof that, in this climate, we need not restrain ourselves from applying conditioning fluid onto our fretboards as & when the need arises. Remember, we are NOT in the tropics.

A more presentable & healthy looking fretboard after re-conditioning.

A set of GHS .009s in there & it's all play thereafter.
