Can anyone recommend a good way to buff ebony fretboards to a shine? On my next string change I'd like to buff the frets and the fretboard so they're glossy if possible.
Thanks

Re: Buffing ebony fretboards
Ebony, like Rosewood, is an unfinished material
all you can do is clean and re-moisturize it
with lemon oil
or whatever your cleaning/oiling choice isEHD

Do yourself a favor and just pick up a bottle of mineral oil at your local drug store. It will treat and shine it up nicely.Comment

If its the old quality high grade slate black ebony it'll shine , if its the dull dyed(/) lower grade ebony, like I have on my new Gibson, forget it."Anyone who understands Jazz knows that you can't understand it. It's too complicated. That's what's so simple about it." - Yogi BerraComment

I do a few passes of #0000 ("four aught") steel wool if it's really gunky, then re-moisturize.Comment
