MusicNomad F-ONE Fretboard Oil Cleaner & Conditioner 2 oz (MN105)

Nice oil, my guitars' fretboards look rich and luxurious! This bottle will last me a lifetime. Glad I went with a quality brand. I even used it on my acoustic guitar's wooden bridge and it looks rich and refurbished.

I've got a brand new Martin Deluxe guitar, that has no finish on the ebony fretboard. Fretboards have to be protected from natural skin oils and other gunk on the fingers that end up on the guitar. What to do?Boiled Linseed oil? This worked fine on my Washburn beater guitar, but a new Martin??Many fretboard treatments contain lemon oil, but I know lemon oil to contain compounds that might harm wood in the long run. After reading many reviews I decided on this product. I am delighted with the decision. The fretboard came to life. It's beautiful and is now protected.I was very concerned about about the odor; some reviewers complained about the smell. I am very sensitive to fragrances and smells. My product was odorless, or if anything, had the benign odor of mineral oil when applied. I just sniffed the oil that was applied 10 minutes ago. There is no odor at all when the guitar is held in playing position, and only the faintest, faintest odor when my nose was an inch away. The odor is a non-issue to me. (And I tend to fret about everything...HA!)Other reviewers complained that the bottle leaked. This product had over 6,000 reviews; that is to say, over 6000 bottles were sold through Amazon alone. Odds are that a few bottles will leak.The final deciding factor for me was when I watched a video from Sweetwater and the camera inadvertently scanned across a bottle of F-One. I have the highest regard for Sweetwater, and if they use this stuff, it's good enough for me.To sum up: I prefer to use fretboard treatments that do not use lemon oil, or products that have any fragrance, and products with a history of performance. I'm delighted that I chose F-One.

I love the shine without any residue left behind.

Good product!👍🏼

I have only had it for a few days, so I cannot give much information on the product yet. Although it seems like it would be a good product.I have just used it on the fretboard of a "used" (pre- owned mountain dulcimer and it seemed to enhance the look of the fretboard. I hope it will be long- lasting.

Use this all the time to clean and condition my rosewood fret boards. I really like this stuff. Gives my fretboards a nice, rich looking color while leaving no oily or greasy feeling. Also a little bit goes a long way so I expect to have this bottle for quite some time.Would recommend.

I have used F-One fretboard oil for about 7 years - ONE bottle; I service (and build custom) guitars, basses - including upright bass - mandolins, banjos and ukuleles.; and if I hadn't lost my old bottle I wouldn't have had to reorder for quite a while - likely another year!All you need is a dab about the size of a quarter soaked into one layer of soft cloth, and that will clean/condition an entire unsealed fingerboard - fretted or fretless. NO oil should be used on maple or other SEALED and/or finished fretboards.It conditions as well as plain mineral oil, but cleans gunk off better (really caked boards should be cleaned with naphtha first, which won't hurt binding or finishes like lacquer).Many suggest using lemon oil or a lemon oil based cleaner/conditioner - and after servicing guitars since the 1970's I have seen many fretboards ruined by lemon oil, which looks great at first - but dries the wood rather than preserving natural oils. DON'T use lemon oil, even on finished boards, where it seeps into fret joints, often causing fret popping (naphtha is the cleaner for finished and sealed fingerboards).F-One, like mineral oil, only does its work on unsealed mahogany, rosewood, ebony, koa, etc. - plus bridges and backs of necks if finish has been removed. DON'T use any oil on parts that will be glued together prior to gluing, unless you allow a year or so for full drying!This is GREAT stuff - FWIW I receive no monetary or product compensation from any company I write a review for - my reviews are unbiased.Use F-One's fretboard oil and you'll likely only buy one bottle for decades of use.HIGHLY recommended. The ONLY one I recommend.

Works excellent and brings your fretboard back to life , I would recommend this for all fretboards....
