Regular guitar polish or lemon oil.

Lemon oil and guitar polish?....those wont damage the unfinished fretboard?

The unfinished maple necks shouldn't have guitar polish applied to them. However you can do that with a sealed maple neck. Lemon oil is effective and safe for use on that PC-1 neck, I've done it personally on mine. Like with all else, just don't overdo it.

The maple fingerboard on a PC1 is not sealed? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] I know the back of the neck is oiled, but why would anyone today have a raw maple board with no finish? Are you sure there's not a thin matte satin finish on the board?

ENDUST

It has no wax, no residue, and it cleans them right up with a little elbow (or knuckle) grease and a clean rag. I use in on all my necks, including 5 unfinished maple.

AFAIK, they're finished with a thin matte clearcoat. I could be wrong.

AFAIK, the PC-1 USA necks are completely unsealed, both front and back. As a matter of fact, every USA Jackson maple neck guitar I own is unfinished both on the front and back. I am quite certain this is also true of the EVH Wolfgang all maple necks.

I think folks may be getting confused by the terms "unfinished" and "oiled" being used interchangably in the J/C community.

Unfinished = Oiled. PC1 necks are oiled.

Only the face of the headstock has a thin clearcoat. Basically, this is done to protect the logo.
