MusicNomad Total Fretboard Care (MN144)

Great little kit, every guitar player should have one, comes with fret polish, and an extremely well manufactured fret board oil that you can also use to clean the strings and also lubricate them. Absolutely no smell, the shine from the feet polish is easy to achieve with just using the provided polishing cloth, and it provides a great amount of protection for any fret board, as I've even used this oil on maple fret boards.

Everything in this kit is amazing! The fretboard oil makes the fretboard look brand new. Used it on a B.C. Rich Warlock with a rosewood finger board that I bought out of high school in 2000 that I never conditioned once until I bought this. I also like that it is made from nut oil (I think I heard that correctly) so it should not be harmful because it doesnt have any chemicals or anything and is all natural. I have heard horror stories of people using lemon oil (not bashing anyone. I know there are lots of musicians who swear by it and that's fine) so I steered clear and went with this stuff. It also does not have an offensive order or anything. If you apply it properly, you will not have any oily residue or slippery strings. Started playing right after applying this and restringing without any issues. The fret polish is awesome as well. Really brings the shine back and you dont have to go crazy with the rubbing. I had super tarnished and neglected frets too. I just used a magic eraser on them first and the polished them. The fretboard protectors are a great tool as well. I did get some polish on the fretboard whilst doing this, wiped it off and did not see, or feel, any issues. I will keep buying this kit forever probably. Price is very good as well. Very impressed. I highly recommend everything I have purchased from this company.

I need to give my cousin credit who's also a guitarist for recommending this product to me. He plays an archtop electric and I have an acoustic Martin. He was raving about the difference cleaning up his fretboard made, so I decided to give it a try. After removing the strings I went to work, polishing the frets and the space between them. I hadn't realized the extent of the buildup on the fretboard. The whole process took less than an hour and you could notice a real improvement in the appearance of the fretboard. Even better, I found playing to be notably easier and smoother, like having a new guitar. I'm delighted to say that, for a few dollars, I've found something that adds to the enjoyment of playing and will help keep my instrument in great shape. I plan on using this product on a regular basis, perhaps every 6 to 12 months. Highly recommended!

I used this kit on a BC Rich Virgin that has been in storage for over 10 years. The guitar world has evolved tremendously since my days of being in the scene. This kit comes with just about everything you need to safely rehab or maintain a guitar or bass. The fret shields does not keep the fret polish off of the fretboards effectively. I ended up taping most of my frets (1-17) and used the shield over the tape to help minimize the mess. I started from the bottom fret and worked my way up. Despite getting some polish on the fret board it did not damage it. I quickly wiped it off and periodically wiped off the top and bottom of the shield. The polish works best when worked in with some serious elbow grease. One could use the polish in a rotary tool (dremel) polishing wheel for effortless oxidation removal. I used this on every metal component. It did a great on of removing oxidaron from the bridge, humbucker pickup magnet (dots) and even black oxide attachment hardware surface rust. Again, if carefully used with a polishing wheel, life should be muuuuch easier. After the the frets were polished, I removed the tape I used on frets 1 through 12 then applied the oil and let it work it’s way in for about 7 minutes to help hydrate the distressed wood. The wood seem to like the non-lemon oil based product. Overall, this kit is impressive. It worked wonders for my guitar. I have another guitar that is the same shape as this one and I will definitely employ three use of the rotary tool to work the polish on the frets.

I am not a big review writer unless something stands out (good or bad). That said, this is a great product. I had an Ibanez 652 guitar that had barely been played. It had been sitting for a couple of years and the frets had managed to get very corroded....almost to the point of serious rust. The neck was also dried out and was in need of a lot of care, in general. I ordered the fret-board care pack and was able to get the neck in "like new" shape and the frets are shiny again. After I was done with that, I applied the neck oil as directed. I let the oil sit for awhile and wiped down the neck several times to make sure all the excess oil had either been absorbed or removed. I will admit that I abandoned the fret guards (although I found one that fit perfectly), mainly because my frets were in such bad shape I really needed to get in there and scrub every small crevice. It took a lot of "elbow grease" but I was able to accomplish the mission. Any excess polish that got on the fret-board was easily removable and didn't leave any film/residue on the fret-board. Long story short, this product did exactly what I was hoping for. Fret-board and frets are in great shape now and I don't feel guilty any longer about letting such a nice guitar get into such a state of despair. 5-stars! PS: I will add pics at some point in the near future.

While using this product I thought I wasn't doing anything to help clean the frets. I thought that I was just going through the motions. I did notice that the frets were smoother after polishing. But visually it didn't see a difference. The next day I thought I would do it again to see if it would make a difference, as soon as I pick the guitar up I could tell they were definitely shining. The product is very easy to use. The fret guards worked great, although some of the polish still gets on the frets, just wipe it off and continue. I also used a fret polishing cloth from Ernie ball that I've had for years. Together these products do a great job. Frets started out as bumpy and oxidized. Now they're very smooth and bright. Frets guards make the process faster. I use to tape off the fret board. I highly recommend this and all the other Music Nomand products. So far they seem to be the best, and I never found a product that doesn't do what it claims to do.

I just finished using this in my new (used) Ibanez SR bass. I wasn't sure the fretboard guards would be large enough but it was fine at the 22nd fret and lower. You'll have to polish part of the fret at a time for the 23rd and 24th frets but it's not that big if a deal. This stuff works! I thought I'd need sandpaper for as funky as some of these frets were but it cleaned and shined them well. Yes, you need to put in some effort into buffing the frets but not nearly as much as I thought might be the case. The included cloth works fine Would recommend.

This product is great! I stumbled across an acoustic guitar in an antique furniture shop and couldn't believe that they were letting it go at such a low price. The fret wire was corroded, fret board dull, and the strings were totally worn out. It sounded really dull and the shop owner wondered why I even wanted it. I knew with some TLC that this guitar would sound great. With this kit I was able to completely refurbish the fret wire and fret board with ease to a beautiful shine. It took a few passes to get the fret wire to shine, but that's to be expected with how long this thing had been siting around in its case. The fret board oil is even better than the previous brand I was using as well. With the treatment from this kit, new strings, adding in a bone saddle/nut/bridge pins, and the various other tuneups you can do, this $200 guitar was brought back to it's original sound and then some. Literally sounds like a $1,000+ guitar. If you are a novice at guitar repair, this kit is just want to need to refurbish a moderately worn guitar or for standard maintenance when you replace your strings. Highly recommend!

中身は歯磨き粉のような液。 錆の付けているフレットを磨くと、見えるほどすぐキラキラになった。 良いです。

Für Gitarristen ein muss haben.

I was somewhat skeptical at first as I have a few guitars I've only done "swipe" cleaning on the fretboards so a few literally have decades of build up and I've never cleaned the frets. These instruments have been played a lot. I was blown away with how well the fret boards are cleaned. The literally look like new and the "finger gunk" is completely remove, the fret board colour is totally restored. Fret cleaning went very well too, immediately noticeable difference and shiny results. My biggest joy was, not a lot of work. The product works very quickly and doesn't take a lot of effort even on boards that have decades of accumulation. Will be using this now a couple of times a year. I'd like to do it after every string change, but I change strings frequently, sometimes once a month if I'm playing heavily and I just want to get the instrument setup with new strings quickly. But definitely a couple of times a year. The fret cleaner squirts out very easily so be careful or you'll get a large gush and waste cleaner. I highly recommend, it will make your instrument look like new.

High quality guitar cleaning and maintenance kit.

No me esperaba que funcionara tan bien, le devolvió la vida a mi guitarra tras 5 años de no haberle dado ni el mínimo manteamiento. Dejó el brazo mejor que nuevo. También me ayudó a quitar el oxido que tenía en las pastillas y la guitarra suena mas limpia sin haber cambiado las cuerdas. Muy feliz con los resultados. Además con buen uso te puede durar bastante tiempo. Vale aún mas la pena si lo compran en rebaja como yo lo hice.
