## Questions & Answers

**Q: What other ingredients besides mineral oil are included in this product?**
A: Not sure exactly, but it seems like more solvent than oil. It's very thin and light. A very little bit goes a long way, and it cleans as well as moisturizes.

**Q: Can this be used on unfinshed maple fretboards?**
A: I have only  rosewood and ebony fretboards therefore I can't remember if this is suitable for unfinished maple fretboards. I think it is best to contact the manufacturer before using it, wrong products can damage the fretboard.

**Q: Can this be used with a Rust Birch Laminate fretboard?**
A: I'm not familiar with this particular fret board.  This is a marvelous product, and the gold standard for years, but is meant to be used on fretboards that can absorb enough of the product to keep the fretboard from drying out and cracking. As a test, you could try a small amount on  one fret nearest the sound hole,  rub it in, then remove access. If some was absorbed,  it should be alright. To be sure, you could contact customer service of the manufacturer first. Hope this helps, and good luck.

**Q: Would you use this on a cutting board?**
A: No, but you could use cutting board oil on your fretboard.

    Essential product for guitarosts
  

*by D***B on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2023*

Gerlitz Guitar Honey is a must have for all guitarists, in my opinion. Ypu need to treat your fretboard well. Guitar Honey works for me, last a lot longer. It says it's a combo of lemon oil & linseed oil. All I know is that ot works extremely well. I know it works on Ebony, Rosewood, Brazzy rosewood, East Indian rosewood, ziricote, cocoboloo fretboards. I got my first bottle from a luthier years ago, who still uses it on all the different fretboards he works with. Plus, I'd had great luck with Gerlitz #1 guitar wax before that, so I gave it a try. Very good stuff. Plus a little really does go a long way. Just give it enough time to dry. New players today are lucky we have so many guitar treatments, kits, and a lot of other things. What would we di wothout 8 bottle "Cleaning systems"? Hmm. In 1979, I was about 14 & watched my best friend clean his Gibson Les Paul fretboard & guitar body & neck with Pledge. Honestly, doubt it did any harm, if any. Just smelled lemony fresh., lol. We didnt have an internet or a lot of older players to give us much advice. But with the more exotic & expensive woods on  fretboards today, we all need to be more careful. I used to use lemon oil, but it only lasts about a week. Guitar Honey in my experience lasts a lot longer. It's a shame Amazon isn't selling this themselves. Guitar Honey can be found just about anywhere for about 8.99. It's a good quality product, imo. Hopefully, they'll start selling it again.Cheers!

    Better than mineral oil, not permanent
  

*by J***F on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2014*

I have a bunch of guitars with rosewood fretboards and most of them, strangely enough, seem to have some kind of product already on them from the factory that creates a bit of a "sheen" and keeps the wood feeling smooth to the touch when playing. Either that or it's just naturally oily wood. It's subtle but definitely there, especially when compared with my Japanese Fender Jazzmaster, which has 100% bare, raw wood on the fretboard. That thing gets bone dry in the winter, to the point where it's like fingernails on a blackboard when playing it. It feels like playing on a 2x4.I've been trying to lubricate that guitar's fretboard with mineral oil for years, but it looks and feels great for a day or two and then the wood soaks everything up and the surface is back to being the Sahara desert again.So I decided to try this stuff, and it's made a big difference. It's not like having a real permanent finish, but it does stay on the fretboard basically forever - or until your own playing rubs it off. That's good enough for me. I've been scared to give my fretboard a more permanent finish so this is pretty much the intermediate step I've been looking for. It doesn't wear off or evaporate on its own, and it makes a really raw fretboard like my Japanese Jazzmaster look "alive" while also lubricating it for playing. It makes your fretboard feel smoother and slicker.I like products that do what they say, and this one does what it says.

    Fixed up my fingerboard after I messed it up!
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2013*

The first time I cleaned the neck of my jazz bass, I didn't know what I was doing and I used water with a little oil soap on the rosewood fretboard.  I dug in a little too hard against the grain when cleaning the frets themselves, too.  The result was that the fretboard looked a little dried out in general, but especially in those places where I had dug in.  Those spots almost looked scratched, but I think the extra work I did there just allowed more water to soak in and mess with the wood.  I applied the Guitar Honey once, following the directions on the bottle, and the fretboard is like new.  It's got a nice, deep luster and I can't see any evidence of problems I created the first time around.  I don't see any residue or anything else looking other than how it should.  I'm happy with the stuff.  Get some.
