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

After first treatment of my nylon strings guitar's ebony fretboard, I'm beyone pleased. All in one product makes it quick and easy. Looked new when through with board and bridge. Taking them at their word that the oils in this product are better than lemon oil and last longer. They certainly work well for cleaning and conditioning. Definitely recommend for higher end guitars.

This stuff is great. For decades, I have used "lemon oil," but I decided to try something different on my current guitar with a very dried-out fretboard. After reading about the "best fretboard oil," I decided to try this F-ONE stuff.My fretboard was not very dirty, but this stuff did a nice job of pulling out some dirt, moisturizing, and leaving a nice subtle shine. I like that it dries very dry compared to lemon oil.

Got this for an old guitar i was restoring and it made the fretboard unbelievably better. grime, grit, and overall wood grain condition is insanely better. Used lemon oil in the past but like this so much more. Done 2 necks so far and will probably never use that lemon oil again. This stuffs awesome!

As I’ve said before, I’m a longtime fan of MusicNomad, and their F-One cleaner is the only product I use on my fretboards—from my newer Martins to my father’s ’50s Gibson jumbo. It cleans and conditions beautifully, bringing ebony and rosewood back to life with a natural sheen.There’s no noticeable odor, no buildup, and the small applicator tip makes it easy to control the amount and it doesn’t leak in my tool box.I also appreciate that MusicNomad dates their bottles—something most brands don’t do. I refresh mine every three years to ensure freshness, especially on vintage guitars. I’m talking more about the polishers as I’ve never seen the F-One oil bottle dated and don’t think it necessarily needs to be.Highly recommended.

Come on, guys. I received the bottle, wrapped in what appeared to be cellophane. As soon as I touched it, I could see why. The oil was all over it! I unraveled the cellophane from the bottle, and then took a towel to wipe off the mess. I could not find an issue with the bottle. I'm thinking it's a bottle cap issue. Any way, the product itself is awesome. I have 9 guitars and needless to say, I was busy for a while. This stuff sinks into the wood perfectly. It smells wonderful. The fret boards look rich and dark (rosewood) now. I would have given this product 5 stars, but when I have to roll it up in paper towels, and stuff in a resealable baggie to store it, that's a pain. And if it leaks out into my $130 Gator case, I'm not going to be happy! Still - buy this product if you need to oil your boards! Just beware of the packaging!!

Great for replenishment of rosewood, Indian laurel, and similar fretboards, doesn't take much so lasts a long time.

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.
