This stuff is a wonder elixir. One bottle usually lasts me well over a year for several guitars. It's got a great smell, not overpowering like lemon oil. I use it on my natural finish guitars to clean and condition the wood and it's great for removing fingerprints and grime from the fretboard. Leaves an amazing shine and luster when applied to raw or dried wood and really brings out the pop of the color and grain pattern of the wood. Super easy to use with the extra fine tip and is probably the best quality stuff out there. Read more
This product works very well for maintaining the condition of your wood fretboard. It also provides excellent care for guitars with a natural finish. Not recommended for lacquered maple fretboard, and guitar bodies. A little goes a long way. Use sparingly. I highly recommend this product to those who take their guitar care seriously. Read more

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!! Read more
I've been using a high grade wood/furnature rejuvenator on my fretboards for years, it's worked great even though it wasnt designed for wooden instruments but I recently bought a new guitar and the fretboard was really dry. The wood rejuvenator just wasn't getting into the wood like it should (it was failing to reach a lot of small, fine wood grains that stood out due to the dryness) so I went online looking for something with a lighter viscosity and yes, meant for guitars. I settled on this product based on the reviews (i did not care about the price) and it worked GREAT. It rehydrated the wood quickly and very well (i had to rub it in with my finger at a few really dry spots, but it worked nicely) and the color is now rich and saturated. The smell is very mild, and i mean VERY mild and clean up was easy. I liked that you only need to let the oil sit for a few minutes for very dry or dirty fretboards. Usually I let an oil sit for 10 to 15 mins but this product worked perfectly as directed. I ended up doing both of my guitars and the results made me a life time customer. I highly recommend it.

I've used all kinds of fretboard conditioner. F-One is the best! Lasts quite a long time & the end results on a dry fretboard are amazing. And the price is right!! Read more
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. Read more
