Custom Shop Fingerboard Remedy - 2 oz Bottle

Fender Custom Shop Guitar Cleaner, I usually use the Dunlop products however, i only needed a small bottle and thought ill try these out instead. The carnauba based cleaner restore the shine on my guitar and removed the haze and grime that built up over the last few months. This works very well it cleans sticky grime however, did take abit more buffing than the usually Dunlop product i use. Once applied and buffed it does leave the bodywork silky smooth and i was happy with the finish it provided. This does have a smell it wasn't really unpleasant it was no different to the Dunlop really. Easy to use and apply without any real issues. Overall good value, its a smaller bottle which was fine with me however, could possibly run out quickly if you clean your instrument more frequently. These a nice finish once you buff it out i felt it left the paintwork silky smooth. I bought the Fingerboard cleaner along with the body cleaner and i really liked the how this product performed. This removed all the grime from the fretboard with ease and left the fretboard looking clean and re hydrated while leaving a nice sheen. Compatible with rosewood, ebony and pau ferro fretboards. Easy to apply and wipe off with a soft cloth. This left no residue on the fretboard afterwards.

This is easily the best fretboard conditioner that I’ve ever used. It really helps keeps the fretboard oiled and doesn’t dry out the wood whatsoever, unlike lemon oil which tends to clean well but doesn’t help the wood that much as I find it can dry out the wood. And unlike another brand that I also tried (F-One) the Fender stuff doesn’t smell bad afterwards. My Rosewood Stratocaster fretboard has never felt so good and it looks great too (and doesn’t smell of fish cakes unlike F-One which I really wanted to like). The only negative is the bottle - it’s crap and leaks easily and should really have a screw on cap with a silicon seal, it even arrived all oily as it had leaked before being opened so sort it out Fender. Otherwise it’s a great product and I’ll be using it from now on.

I recently used the Fender Custom Shop Fingerboard Remedy on my bass guitar, which had a fretboard starting to dry out. This product was incredibly easy to apply, making the process straightforward even for those not particularly handy with guitar maintenance. After application, the fretboard looked revitalized and felt smoother. The dryness was completely fixed, and it brought back the rich, natural look of the wood. It's clear that this remedy provides excellent conditioning for the fingerboard, helping to protect and maintain it over time. Overall, the Fender Custom Shop Fingerboard Remedy is an effective and user-friendly product that I highly recommend for anyone looking to care for their guitar's fretboard.

Very good product, does the job nicely, it restored my fretboards beautifully, leaves them hydrated and looking good with no sticky or oily residue. Recommended.

Really good cleaner.

This is fantastic, makes the fretboard look, feel and smell great. I prefer this over any lemon oil or even monty's instrument food wax (it's just too much faff using it, smells bad and leaves a waxy matte mist on the fretboard). This thing on the other hand, makes the wood look very 'alive' and rich in colour. It contains come beeswax so it is a good mixture of both approaches and it just as easy to apply as a standard lemon oil.

Hi there guys, Okay so my issue is that I have an unfinished maple neck and fingerboard on my Strat. This of course shows all the dirt, which is obviously also the case with darker necks, you just can't see it is all. Well no, sometimes you CAN see the dirt on a dark fingerboard, if you look closely in good lighting you see the streaks and patches where you favour positions. I actually take the finishes off all my necks and or fretboards, I don't like the feel, sweat city! Ultimately I'd rather have a dirty neck that feels great, than a good looking grabby sweaty one, but then ideally I want BOTH! I WANT IT ALL!!!!! If your fingers sweat due to the finish on your fingerboard, it will slow your fingers down. I can't go back to that now, I rely on slick movement, take it for granted. The fender fingerboard remedy is the best conditioner, semi sealer I've tried to date!!! Great feel etc. however... The dirt, the discolouring on the fingerboard comes back pretty quickly. (It's not your dirty fingers doing this per se, it's the black residue coming off of the strings.) The last product I will now try, is the Music Nomad F1 oil. You can get it here on Amazulu, it ships in from the States and so it takes a while to arrive. (Maybe Amazulu will start stocking it when it gets more popular?) It's got the most positive reviews I've EVER seen!? And from professionals, guitar makers even! It claims to keep your fingerboard clean for months? Back to the fender product, again it's the best I've tried thus far. Way better than lemon oil or any wax based products, why, because of the way it drys. It dries leaving a sheen in only minutes. It's better on an unfinished neck. If you wash your hands before you play, which you ALWAYS should. The neck stays clean and with a slick feel. But then yes, the maple fingerboard will get dirty again pretty quickly, sorry to repeat myself, but this is due to the residue coming off of your strings. If you have a dark wood fingerboard, this works well, it will make your fingerboard look and feel great!! But then remember, if that neck was maple, you'd see the dirt starting to get into your grain again. Personally I'm not bothered knowing that, why, because my maple fret is now a bit dirty again, but then it still feels great! So on a darker fret, you have a good look and great feel. Just remember to condition the finger board when it begins seem dry, because the wood grain can seperate. Check advice on line as to how often to oil, condition your fingerboard, too much is as bad as not enough. I do this by eye and feel. Again the fender product is better than any other type of oil I've tried. But then the Music Nomad F1 oil may well be better, seal the wood for longer? Which is what all the reviews say, not that you can trust reviews 100%, you may trust me, but you also have to realise that I'm the reincarnation of Jesus...lol Yeah, there's all sorts of people reviewing on these forums lol lol. With the last point being that if I'm Jesus, then why can't I just make my fingerboard perfect? 'LET THERE BE... a clean and slick finger board'!!!! Yeah no, I got nothing...lol lol Quickly for real guitarheads. The best surface on a maple fingerboard is a sanded down varnish. I had this at one time, however when polishing my frets, some polish got under the finish, it looked terrible. So I took the finish off and revarnished using the best recommended stuff. After a week of the varnish not drying properly, I took it off and oiled the fingerboard. I've experimented with varnishes on wood, I can't seem to get them to dry properly, and I can't find any credible advice? As well as that yes, even with a nicely sanded surface which is never grabby.... if I can feel the fretboard grabbing or at all, under my fingers when bending I'm not happy. Even sanded down varnish causes my fingers to sweat, and no my fingers are not excessively sweaty, it's not a massive problem just an annoyance with only maple fingerboards. It's a conundrum! Clean grabby board or slick dirty one. Hopefully the F 1 oil will be as good as it's reviews, it's on the way! I'll review it in due course.

Good for pau ferro boards

Ottimo prodotto per pulire il corpo della chitarra consentendo anche una leggera lucidatura. Consigliato

Perfect

La calidad es buena, el formato muy muy pequeño, y no es un producto muy sencillo de aplicar, más bien de baja humedad y difícil de extender. Aunque el resultado, con más trabajo que otros productos, es bueno. Sigo prefiriendo el music nomad.

Keine Beschwerden.
