Where did you get them?

Thanks for all the info and thanks DMS. Is there a specific type of oil that works good? Also, bit afraid to try this, but are you supposed to use steel wool or something? I read it in the Jackson manual and on a bottle of fretboard oil (don't think it's the same stuff you're using).

check the tech section. if you've already got a fretboard oil, it's probably fine and i wouldn't hesitate to use it. we all have our preferences on what we use.

oh, and yeah, you can use steel wool, but make sure you go up and down and not across the frets otherwise you'll scratch the ebony.

Unless the 'board is in really bad shape I'd avoid using any abrasives. One nice thing about ebony is that the crud tends to sit on top rather than sink in. I cleaned the one above with naptha and a soft cloth and had no trouble getting the gunk off.

Isn't that the point of forum, to suport Jackson guitars players and buyers and inform them on bad dealers?
If dealer lets fretboard to dry, then he is not realy into selling quality product, or even worse, he doesn't even know what he is selling.

the guitar could have just not sold for a long time. it could have been in a case in the back and forgotten about. it happens.

Yeah, when I got my Fender Double Fat Strat from MF in '01, the rosewood board was pretty dry and pale looking! [img]/images/graemlins/sick.gif[/img]

That is definitely ebony, it just needs a good clean, and oiling.
