how do you clean the fretboard with the strings on?

[XxBassMastaXx]

do i just shuv a cloth under the strings?

[mrcrow]

i wouldnt try...you may not get all the edges next to the frets clean
mucking around with the strings on just makes the job harder

Depends how dirty it is and how clean you want it.

I [b]always [/b]take the strings off and lemon oil the board, naturally you won't be doing that on a maple one. I do this every six months or so.

That's the dirtiest maple fingerboard I've ever seen.

Simple answer, though to this question... take the strings off.
