Fret Dr!

JPizzzle · 01-15-2008, 02:08 AM

Well I have to say that I am really impressed by the results that I achieved after using fret dr. Here are some before and after pics. The after pics were taken after applying 3 coats of fret dr, and wiping it off. I really recommend getting some of this stuff. Here's the link for those interested. Be A Fifer!

I will use nothing else. Fret Dr. is the way to go!

yes, that's the good stuff.

and one bottle will last for a very long, long time, so IMO it's cheap.

I love this stuff as well. I originally bought it to liven up an old dried out board on my father's old guitar, and it worked so well that I now use it for all my guitars.

I've always used Lemon Oil for fretboard maintenance... I've heard of Fret Dr. but never tried... I must check it out

IronWeso · 01-23-2008, 04:54 PM

When you use that stuff do you take all the strings off or leave em on and work around them??

JPizzzle · 01-23-2008, 04:56 PM

I take the strings off-but i'd do it if i'm changing strings, I wouldn't really take the strings off oil and put em back on. but that's just me.

Watch most commercial lemon oil... it has petrolium distilliates in it that clog the pores on the fingerboard.

I think the fretboard polish that came with my luthiers choice might have petrollium.
