## Overview

Gerlitz Guitar Honey Fretboard Oil is a premium, hand-crafted conditioning oil formulated over 30 years specifically for rosewood, ebony, and exotic guitar woods.

## Description

The story of Gerlitz Guitar Honey begins in 1988. Harvey Gerlitz, master carpenter, amp designer, luthier, and guitar shop owner saw a need to create a fretboard conditioner that was formulated specifically for commonly used guitar woods. The existing market only offered repurposed furniture polishes and traditionally used lemon and linseed oils which hurt more than they helped. With his knowledge of wood and instruments, he employed a wood finish chemist to make the first version of Guitar Honey specifically formulated for use on guitars. After 30 years of constant testing, improving and feedback from the guitar community, Gerlitz Guitar Honey is the premier fretboard treatment. Gerlitz Guitar Honey fretboard oil is a unique blend of conditioning oils for rosewood, ebony, and other exotic woods that will cleanse and enhance your fingerboard's natural character, giving it a smooth silky feel and lustrous glowing sheen, while protecting against moisture, sweat, alcohol and grime in general. The results obtainable with Gerlitz Guitar Honey are as good or better than any other fingerboard oil or treatment available.

Review: Essential product for guitarosts - 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 desertcart 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!
Review: The right stuff. - I was looking for a fretboard conditioner that does not contain lemon and/or silicon because those products make everything worse gradually. This oil is easy to apply and does not ruin the fingerboard, like many others do. It leaves the fretboard nice and clean, with a nice smooth feel to it. Non sticky, non oily and without any irritating scent either, which can be the case with other products.I have already used it on a few of my Gibsons ( all with rosewood fretboards) with great results. As a professional artist I have no use for low quality products that do not deliver what they promise and this Guitar Honey fingerboard oil is a good product, Period. Good price, value for money and very fast shipping too . What more can you ask for? O.k, I would have loved a label with all the ingredients used in this magic guitar elixir, but perhaps it all adds to the mystery....

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Conditioner!
*by A***N on May 14, 2011*

I used this on the fretboard of my Fender Koa Tele and my Fender Acoustic. My Tele's fretboard wasn't as dried out as the acoustic. The acoustic has always been pretty dried out since I got it years ago, and nothing else seemed to keep the wood smooth and beautiful for much longer than a few weeks. A friend I ran into in a local guitar store told me he fell in love with Guitar Honey after the first try. He uses it every other time he restrings his guitars, and it last between a few restrings, even on the driest fretboards. I tried it and it worked like a charm! It worked great for both my guitars, and my tele's neck still looks nice. I admit it has been a few months since I have restrung my acoustic as I have coated strings on it that last a long time, but the wood is just now starting to look dry again, so that's better than the results I've had with other fretboard conditioners.
