JIM DUNLOP Fretboard 65 Ultimate Lemon Oil Acoustic Guitar Body (44616554001)

People who oil fretboards have a lot of choices, and I encounter a lot of particularity ... I'm not that guy. I just want the fretboard moistened, with as little effort as possible.I really like this product: the applicator works for me, the smell is more pleasant than many alternatives, and it works. I live in the southwest, and my guitars' fretboards dry out in about six months, even when kept in controlled-humidity environments. This product goes on easily, wipes off, lifts dirt if it has gathered behind a fret ... and doesn't cost too much. One bottle usually works for about 30 treatments for me, and I slather it on.This is one of those small items that is a real difference maker for me.

Oiled the fret up nicely and got the grime off a 20 year old seagull. Recommended for sure.

Anyone who says lemon oil is absolutely bad or absolutely good for guitars doesn't understand. There are two very different things called lemon oil. One is oil extracted from lemons; it is bad for guitars. The other is oil made for guitars and scented with lemon scent; it is great for your rosewood fretboard. This is guitar lemon oil and it does a great job.

It's only the best you can use on your feet board.this one bottle will last you years.

This stuff is just fine. I think people get upset thinking it's poison from some big company. Looking at the poison facts sheet (which they publish, apparently, to sell this stuff in Germany- It's on the Thomann website) the ingredient they list as toxic is "white mineral oil". I have that stuff in my medicine cabinet. Sometimes I take a pull on it just for kicks. That's all it lists as a hazard..To be clear, there is no actual "lemon" in this oil save for the artificial smell. Any "natural" oils would turn rancid after a period of time. And it's not the same stuff marketed for furniture or wood restoration. See, the association with "lemon oil" was a desirable one in the market at at some point. Techs would tell you to get a "bottle of lemon oil" (old english say) so these companies started making products more for guitar using that association. Now, it's kind of a dirty word: people want "natural" ingredients or, at the very least to pamper their guitars so these products are now victims of the very association that they originally wanted. The bottom line is: who knows all-in-all what's in this stuff. In any of the similar products really. It's quite thin and is actually a good fretboard cleaner as well on its own. I doubt it is more or less "natural" than any other product. Goodness, white petroleum and the distillates thereof are ubiquitous.I admit, for my pricier instruments, some of which may need more nourishment, I've always used a fingerboard oil by "Roche Thomas". It's a bit thicker and is more of a straight oil. I've had the same bottle for at least 30 years.. It's great stuff. I finish my bass fingerboard with it only on the rare occasion I use Naptha to clean the rosin off. It rehydrates well. I also use it on my classical guitars. But now I set up guitars and end up cleaning and in some cases restoring guitars - call it a professional adjunct. For most of my players, and for my students' instruments which may have ne'er seen a rag before they see me, this Dunlop stuff is the exact right thing. I will say, I wish they would publish the ingredients. One star off that I had to go to Germany to get ANY info on this.

Jim Dunlop 6554 Lemon Oil is a must-have for guitar care. It conditions fretboards perfectly, leaving them smooth and hydrated. The fresh lemon scent is a bonus, and the 4 oz size lasts long. Easy to apply and highly effective—highly recommended!
