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.

Great oil goes on and makes the wood look so good … and doesn’t leave a lot of residue or sticky.

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.

After 20 years of working on my own guitars I finally ran out of my old lemon oil bottle and decided on this since they no longer sold the old brand I had. Worked just as good and had the same effect as my old stuff. Great job Dunlop.

This is a great product. I use it on every non-finished fretboard. And it smells good too. A win-win.

This product is a must for any stringed instrument player. Does an amazing job of cleaning and nourishing fretboard. The lemon scent is pleasant.
