D'Addario Lemon Oil - Guitar Fretboard Oil - Guitar Accessories - Removes Dirt, Grease, Build Up from Instrument - Conditions to Resist Dryness - Extends Fretboard Life

🎸 The lemon oil comes in a well-sealed bottle, with a foil cap underneath the lid to stop any evaporation during transit. This means it arrives intact and fresh. The flip-up cap is secure and makes it easy to dispense just the right amount without spills. I found that only a small amount is needed, as it spreads easily and absorbs well into the wood. It does a good job of lubricating and freshening the fretboard, restoring moisture and helping to prevent drying or cracks over time.🎸 As a cleaner, it works reasonably well for general build-up, though heavier grime needs a bit of extra effort. I used cotton buds to get into the edges and around the frets where dirt tends to collect. Any excess wipes away cleanly, leaving a smooth, non-greasy finish. The lemon scent is noticeable but not too strong, which makes it pleasant to use without being overpowering. ✔️

Great quality stuff, makes the fingboard look brand new again and does slightly darken the wood which is great.

Good quality and very useful for rosewood guitar fretboards

You only need to use a bit, I use it on my guitars when changing strings, rub it in to clean fretboard. Let it soak in until it looks dry. Cleans and stops fretboard drying out..and smells of lemons.. store standing up.

An essential for guitar. D’Addario are New York based and actually make there products mostly USA. Nice ot see. Anyway their lemon oil is very good, and on par wth the Dunlop and one or two others I use. Recommended. Note for all lemon oil users, dont jsut slap it on that can get under frets and looosen them don't you know. Expect when toing a rare total clean of dirty fretboard, when you can soak for a while before cleaning, just apply a little to cloth and rub in then clean over after a while. he D’Addario bottle does the job, increased mojo, makes playing better, and nice aroma attracts girls. Whats not to like.? (p.s no i dont wokr for this company), just used their strings etc for years

. I use it every few months, and it's amazing how it cleans out all the gunk while keeping the wood from drying out. The lemon scent is a nice touch, making maintenance enjoyable. It's on the pricier side, but for the deep conditioning it provides, especially in colder months, it's worth every penny.GHS Fast Fret:For quick touch-ups before gigs or practice, Fast Fret is my go-to. It makes my strings glide and quiets down any squeaks. I apply it in a flash, and my guitar feels brand new. The scent's not my favorite, but it gets the job done. Only downside is managing the residue, but otherwise, it's perfect for daily care.The Verdict:Both have carved out essential roles in my routine. Lemon Oil for those deep clean and condition sessions, Fast Fret for the quick, daily love. They complement each other perfectly for keeping my guitar in top shape. If you're serious about your guitar's health, grab both.

This was terrible on my fish & chips the other night, although my palate felt pretty fresh and zesty afterwards.After that disappointment I thought I'd try it on my new Ibanez Talman guitar that still smells of fish (it came out of the box that way, as the bishop said...). It did a lot to improve the odour of the guitar even though my playing still stinks. I don't think I'll try it on my hands though.More importantly it helped a lot when cleaning the rather well-used neck of my 1980 Stratocaster, which came up a treat and looks pretty nice now, just how I remembered it, but with a zesty lemon freshness that makes it feel like playing in an Italian orchard.I shouldn't have to tell anybody how to use it but, for those guitarists unused to basic household chores (99%?) I will. Put a bit on the neck, preferably with the strings off, covering about 5 frets at a time, and rub it to cover the fretboard in that area, thoroughly, with a non-abrasive cloth (especially on finished necks!), as though you're trying to grind it into the wood. Then leave it for just a few minutes (maybe five) to do its magic before wiping as much of it off as you're able. Really try hard not to leave any residue anywhere, especially along the frets. It's a finishing layer on the wood, not a deep wood treatment, and the frets go deep into the neck, so clean it off really well before moving on, use an old toothbrush if you must. As you move up the neck you might be tempted to do more frets since they're closer together. I tend to avoid this since I'm concerned about keeping the oil around the frets for as short a time as I feel I can get away with, so I do smaller areas with the same number of frets as I go on, using less oil each time and working hard to keep the fret-fingerboard area as clear as can be. Don't work so hard that you remove everything, just bring the fretboard back to a clean state, easily eyeballed. You can cut down on the times if you use this more regularly. If you have the discipline to do this as a weekly job, you can be very quick and sparing on the oil, I would guess, because it is more maintenance than restoration!For really grubby fretboards this oil should work pretty well, although I read some advice online about using Windex or other cleaning compounds in moderation, and leaving them on the neck for minimal time before coming in with the lemon oil and finishing the job. Lemon oil is better for the wood than solvents and other compounds would be.

Works good cleans fretboard well
