I'm using Dunlop Ultraglide 65 for my strings and I want to know if it's fine if I get some on the fretboard cause when I clean the strings it looks like some foamy stuff gets on the frets

It doesn't say anything just to apply to the strings and not to swallow

Car, if it seems almost impossible to apply it to the strings without getting it on the fretboard i wouldn't worry about it...just wipe of the excess if any and you should be ok. I wouldn't go dousing the fretboard with it though...

If all else fails, you could contact the makers of your string cleaner at...

Hope some of this helps...oh, almost forgot...don't drink it...heh, heh...

Cheers,

Alright then cause it IS impossible not to get it on the fretboard... and it's a little too late for that drinking warning

Ok, on 'the impossible'...as mentioned though...wipe off any excess...prolly has something that cleans grime off strings so it could possibly dry out ya fretboard...and on the drinking warning....dang...

Hey 93,
Read up on the stuff, and see whats in it. Will the ingrediants have any adverse affects on the woods the neck is made from?...  That would be my first step..   Just abit of research.....

If everything seems to be coming your way,  your probably in the wrong lane !

I usually slide a towel behind the strings and dampen another cloth with the cleaner then clean my strings. As for drinking it.....stirred not shaken.
