Fret board conditioner acts somewhat similar to the Lemon Oil or Olive Oil for the fingerboard on the guitar, helping to restore the fret board to its original state, which is healthy and fully toned!
Le fret board conditioner also creates a fast surface for speedy fingering, which also helps to protect against sweat, grime, oils, and moisture from the working fingers.
