Yesterday some advised using GHS Fast Fret. Stores were closed, by my highly refined instincts told me "why not use Olive Oil". And it seemed to work wonderfully. I went to the guitar store today and bought some Fast Fret for $6.60. What a rip off! This tiny amount in the much bigger container. GHS saw me coming.
Now on researching this, I find that my instincts were correct, here is a fellow talking about using Olive Oil. http://www.fingerpicking-guitarist.com/Art...Guitar_Neck/31/ From now on, I listen to my instincts. I can also assure you, the Olive Oil is much slicker than fast fret. Fast fret uses mineral oil, but don't try that, you can't be sure what is added to mineral oil that you buy, play it safe, and do as those in the know do, only use Virgin Olive Oil, both on your guitar, and also in Salads. |
