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

I've purchased a couple of used guitars which had a lot of grime/gunk on the fretboard. Any good wood cleaner/conditioner will probably work but unless you're cleaning 100 guitar necks (or your kitchen cabinets) this is probably a cheaper option. Anyway, this worked really well. It cleaned up one neck very easily, the second neck took a bit of elbow grease but it got the job done. A couple of drops goes a long way so this should last you for several treatments even if you have 20 guitar necks to clean. This is only for unfinished dark woods (as stated on the label).

Good stuff. Enough for dozens of applications. Must have for set ups and or restringing.

I love this stuff... its very subtle, and works great to hydrate your fretboard without any harsh chemicals or nasty smell.

A but pricey. But quality stuff.

Perfect for protecting a fret board. Makes the fret board look brand new and lasts a long time. Smells good as well.

I used this oil to clean and condition my Fender Stratocaster. The neck hadn’t been cleaned in years and was in pretty bad shape. There was a lot of gunk in between the frets. I applied the oil to a microfiber cloth and scrubbed the neck. The wood soaked up the oil nicely and it removed all the debris. It left my guitar neck looking brand new. It now feels very smooth. Definitely would recommend!

I've used lemon oil for years on my hand-made guitar's ebony fretboard and this is the real deal, pure and simple. A small bottle can last a lifetime. I looked everywhere to replace my old bottle of lemon oil I bought in 1979, and I couldn't find anything that was simply lemon oil without additives, petroleum products or other un-named oils. I bought this as an add-on and its perfect for expensive, fine woods. I use a dampened cloth to rub this on my fretboard. It lifts and cleans the dirt and finger oils while replenishing the life of the wood. Buff it dry and you have a shiny, fast fretboard. I also use it on my rosewood bridge. Use it every time you change strings. You can also use this to restore life to dead strings and to lift dirt stains from the finished surfaces of your guitar--it will clean dirt without lifting the finish.

Treats fretboards perfectly. Smells great

This oil is needed as only 4-5 drops for 24 frets. Overusing till it starts to smell like lemonade is not expected. It can ruin the frets and make the fret board unplayable. Please don't use on treated fret boards like Maple. Use this on rosewood, ebony etc type of fret boards. The product is decent, easy to use and is needed only twice a year unless you are a pro. This works with acoustic and electric guitars but never use this on any metal part as well as on body. It also cleans the ebony/rosewood bridge of acoustic guitar as well. Just 2 drops are needed for this job of bridge. A guitar mechanic's best friend from his inventory for any guitar, electric or acoustic. Keep away from direct light when not in use and it will last quite longer, worth the money invested.

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.
