MusicNomad The F-One Fretboard Conditioner

Really good. Never a fan of using too much product to clean my acoustic but finally tried this and it is good stuff. Due to my ability (or lack thereof) there are certain frets on the fretboard I use a lot more than the other and this was visible before using this. Now the fretboard is back to being a smooth, clean surface with no finger marks.

I have built several diy guitar kits in the last couple of months and used this product on the fretboard before stringing up. It is very easy to apply, just a few very small dots along the fretboard, rub it in with a finger, leave for a couple of minutes and then buff the fretboard with a lint free cloth. The fretboard now feels in excellent condition with a slight lustre and very smooth feel to it. although it is a very small bottle, so little is needed per application it will last a very long time.

I always use MUSIC NOMAD F1 OIL on all my guitar fretboards. It is free from any lemon extracts, petroleum distillates, detergents etc. so it is perfectly safe on your fretboard and it nourishes the wood beautifully. A little goes a very long way and there is never any trace of sticky residue after application. Every professional guitarist, luthier and guitar tech. I know swears by it. I would never use anything else. I have uploaded a photo, next to a pack of guitar strings, to show the size of the bottle.

So I'm coming at this from the perspective of unfinished maple fingerboards, where it's a great feel and tone, but the dirt shows.Long story short, as the inventors of this product say. Traditional oils don't work.In my opinion the two best products are this product and Fender Fingerboard Remedy.Two different feels.This product leaves a slight oily feel, that actually speeds your fingers.The Fender product feels better but then doesn't seem to stop the dirt quite as well?I don't think you can stop the dirt completely?

Bought to use on a Rosewood fretboard that hadn't seen any love in a while, Had dried out quite a bit! This sorted that out, Whilst a little expensive, The fretboard now looks back to its best, Properly dark and can now see the graining more! Easy to use, Easy to clean with and seems to be holding up just fine!

I have two electric guitars (Yamaha Pacifica 112v and an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus Top Pro) and both of these have rosewood fretboards.I read a lot of conflicting things online about what to use on these, some saying its ok to use Lemon Oil and some saying the opposite.After reading these I came to the conclusion it was best not to take the risk. I searched for an alternative to all the Lemon Oil products and came across Music Nomads F One oil.Although it doesn't state the ingredients, it does say this is safe to use on Ebony, Maple and Unfinished Rosewood fretboards. It also states that the ingredients are all 100% naturally produced oils and free of lemon oil extracts, waxes, petroleum distillates, silicone and water.I have to say I was sceptical but this stuff cleaned and conditioned my fretboard brilliantly. As the other reviews state, a little goes a long way.I recommend removing all the strings first before using this. I did and I used a couple of drops on a cloth (There is an applicator on the bottle) and worked my way all the way down the fretboard. I was really surprised my fretboard came up looking like new.I dried this with a cloth and left this to dry overnight before repeating the same thing again. Be careful not to use too much oil on the fretboard as this can cause the frets to come loose.I was really impressed with this. My fretboard looks great. Before I used this the wood on my Yamaha was cracking. After I used this you would never have known.I would have no qualms in buying it again, although I suspect this will last for a while!

This stuff is great much better than lemon oil , no need to worry about anything it's 100% safe to use on rosewood or ebony fingerboards , just apply a small amount on a good quality microfiber cloth and wipe it onto your fretboard and leave it soak in for a few mins and rub the rest off , you can apply several coats if you want and leave it soak in well rosewood does become darker too , check out YouTube for demos of this stuff . Would buy again. A ++++☺☺☺☺

Have decided to get this after so many research,I used it for my ukulele and it works great.the fretboard just looks as new after 2 years playing without any care.
