The Gorgomyte Fretboard Conditioning Cloth is an excellent polisher to clean guitar frets and fretboard. It is heaven-sent for guitar technicians and guitar players.
After more than 17 years of modifying and repairing guitars, this is the product that I consider unique. Gorgomyte rocks.
What is Gorgomyte?
A long time ago, the process of conditioning a fretboard and polishing frets was composed of multiple tasks.
Now with the arrival of the Gorgomyte Fretboard Conditioning Cloth, it all changed.
This product cleans and conditions the fretboard and polishes the frets at the same time. There is no other product like this.
As a guitar player, you will notice that after playing your guitar for a while, your fretboard becomes clogged with gunk from your fingers as well as the fret wires become dull and not smooth.
When there is gunk in your fretboard and oxidation on your fret wires, it will reduce the sustain of the guitar.
The Gorgomyte Fretboard Conditioning Cloth will solve all this. It will clean up the gunk from your fretboard and polishes the fret wires in no time at all.
This product is cheap, and a pack could clean multiple fretboards. It is so efficient in cleaning the fretboard and polishing the fret wires.
It takes only a little effort to accomplish both fretboard cleaning and fret polishing while conditioning the fretboard during the process.
I have used this polishing cloth on nickel silver frets as well as on stainless frets, and it makes the stainless frets gleam.
I am used to how easy it is to condition fretboards and polish frets now; it is hard to remember life without Gorgomyte.
How to Polish and Condition Guitar Fretboard using Gorgomyte?
It is effortless to use, loosen the strings, and put something between the fretboard and the strings to make access to the fretboard and the frets.
Cut about a three by three inches of Gorgomyte and rub it on the fretboard and the frets. It will remove any oxidation on the frets, and it has special oils to condition the fretboard.
You do not need to mask the fretboards anymore. Remove excess by using a piece of cloth and look at those frets.
They are now gleaming, and it will look better than when you first bought the guitar.
If you own a guitar or bass guitar, this product is a must for you. A lot of guitar technicians use this product as it really works. So get yours now!

Now just one step, and you are polishing your frets while cleaning and conditioning your fretboard as well. It has never been as easy as this.

Thanks for helping me out via our Live Chat in WA. I sought you there as I know you’re the expert when it comes to proper care and maintenance of electric guitars. And you’re right, the stains that I noticed are “rust”. The tuners are starting to rust, maybe because of air humidity and dust.
What I’m doing now is cleaning the parts with a piece of cloth and damped with Singer oil (sewing machine oil). Is that safe for those parts? Then, if it doesn’t clean the rust, I will try that one you are recommending (Gorgomyte).
Hi Gomer,
Singer oil is safe, it will stop the oxidation but it will not polish. If the rust is not that bad the oil should do the job. Otherwise, polishing is required. If the tuners which are probably chrome finished, Gorgomyte will work or use Brasso for Silver or Chrome.

Very informative post, My son plays guitar and I found your post interesting. I don’t know anything about caring for a fretboard, but I hear my son talk about everything he does to maintain his guitars and I will definitely recommend this article/site to him for review.
Thanks for the clear detail that anybody could understand.
Hi Jen,
The Gorgomyte Fretboard Conditioning Cloth is a lifesaver for both guitarists and guitar technicians. It is a fret polisher, fretboard cleaner and a fretboard conditioner.
Thanks for the comments,
Den
Hi Den, thanks for the enthusiastic and detailed article. Now I understand how important this product is with respect to caring for my instrument.
I’d be interested if treating your guitar with this product results in a perceptible difference in the sound when it’s played. Can you share perspective on that?
Best Regards,
Leon Barnes
Hi Leon,
Dirt and gunk accumulated on the sides of your fret wire will kill sustain. Protective coating on new nickel silver fret wires kill sustain. Gorgomyte will clean, polish the fret wire, and it also cleans and conditions the fretboard. There is no other product out there that will do those multiple jobs In a single shot.
You will be surprised by the restored sustain and increased playability of your guitar.

Nice! My dad, brother, and my brother-in-law ALL play guitar… in fact they have weekly jam sessions… I will have to mention this product to them. I didn’t realize the importance of cleaning the fretboard, but you made perfect sense, I imagine that they can get pretty dingy. I will share this info with them, thanks!
Hi Jen,
The Gorgomyte Fretboard Conditioning Cloth is essential for every guitar player and guitar technicians as it does multiple tasks into one single task. It cleans the fretboard, polishes the frets and conditions the fretboard wood.

Hey Den, I was perusing your website and have to say that it is a great site. The product you have on your home page really attracted my attention as well. This Gorgomyte Fretboard Conditioning Cloth is cool. I wish I have known this product before. Your page links look well organised and offer a good variety of topics. I too am a self-taught guitarist for over 30 years but you offered some information I didn’t know. Thank you.
I was pondering as I was looking and thought maybe it would be great if you had a page dedicated to chords and scales. Maybe even something about little riffs that someone could add to their repertoire of knowledge. Anyway, it’s a great and informative site. Keep up the good work.
Hi, Bob!
The Gorgomyte Fretboard Conditioning Cloth really make my life easier as it is like three products in one. It is a fretboard conditioner, fretboard cleaner, and fret polisher.
Thanks for the comments,
Den
Wow, thanks for this. I have been playing for years and spent many years on the road. I have always used all kinds of ways to clean my frets. I have spent countless hours sitting there with an old pick scratching away the build up and then polishing my 68 SG and many others. This Gorgomyte Fretboard Conditioning Cloth rocks! This is going to be a game changer for me. 🙂
Hi, Tom!
Yes it rocks. I love this product. I used to use a fret polish, a fretboard cleaner and conditioner. Now only one product will do the job.
Thanks for the comments,
Den
I was very impressed with your page. I was completely unaware of this product. It seems Gorgomyte Fretboard Conditioning Cloth is a multitasking product. I have just begun learning the play the bass guitar and will be purchasing this product in the very near future.
I was particularly impressed by the fact that you answer all your comments on this page. That will certainly help you to develop lasting relationships with your clients.
God Bless.
Hi, Frank!
The Gorgomyte Fretboard Conditioning Cloth is the best product I have encountered in my more than fifteen years of modifying guitars. It is a blessing for us guitar technicians and players as well.
Thanks for the comments,
Den
Unbelievable. Would you believe I’ve been playing guitar for 30 years and never really thought if there might be a professional product specifically for the fret board? I clean mine when I change strings but have always used a clean rag and the dull edge of a butter knife to get next to the fret wire. I’ve always been leary about what cleaning product wouldn’t build up on or damage the fret board itself. You’ve just shown me the product and how easy it is to use. Great job!
Thanks,
Jim
Hi, Jim!
The Gorgomyte really makes our lives easier. Before , you need a lot of materials to clean and condition the fretboard and polish the frets . Now Gorgomyte do all the tasks. This is really a cool material.

Interesting! I’m oldschool as a guitarist (been playing 25+ years), so it’s great to see some really cool gadgets and products for maintaining your guitar – there’s nothing worse than gungy green frets and buzzing strings to ruin all that practice you’ve been doing… I find keeping your strings fresh, clean and away from dirt/air is the best way, so I might have to check out these cloths so I don’t have to be so precious about my guitars!
Hi, Kegan!
The Gorgomyte Fretboard Conditioning Cloth will really make your life easier. You can both clean, condition the fretboard and at the same time polishing the frets.
Thanks for the comments,
Den
Thanks for giving a detailed description on how to use the cloth within your review. It seems like a fast way to condition the fretboard and the frets.
I always take off the strings before doing any maintenance but I think I will try this approach.
Does the special oil have any effect on the strings or the tone?
Hi Rob,
Gorgomyte is an excellent cleaning cloth to clean the fretboard and polish the frets. It will also clean the strings. The most noticeable difference after using the cloth is more sustain. The dirt that accumulate on the frets will really kill that sustain. Once that is cleaned with Gorgomyte it is good to go. The frets will also gleam after polishing the frets with Gorgomyte.
Thanks for the comments,
Den
There are a bewildering number of products available for cleaning and conditioning guitars. It is helpful to hear of a product that does two things at once. You provide an excellent explanation of how to use the cloth. I look forward to trying out the Gorgomyte Fretboard Conditioning Cloth and adding it to my guitar maintenance toolkit.
Hi David!
I agree with you. It used to be like that before Gorgomyte. Gorgomyte really makes our lives easier.
Thanks for the comments,
Den
WOW! You make cleaning and caring for your fretboards sound very easy. Sometimes the easiest ways to take care of instruments are the most often overlooked. How often do you recommend using these cloths to clean the fretboard for people who are playing every day? How long does the conditioner from the cloth stay to protect the fretboard and fret wires from oxidation?
Hi Becky!
The fretboard should be cleaned every week it the guitar is used everyday. You can use the Gorgomyte Fretboard Conditioning Cloth for two cleaning sessions. Just put it in a sealed container to prevent it from drying up.
