I've read that lemon oil can cause the frets to corrode.

Numerous people have told me that while at first using olive oil will give you good results, after a while it will just make the fretboard even gooier.

QUOTE (fkalich @ Dec 13 2007, 01:48 AM)  it might be ok, i just sort of remember something about that, not sure if it was clogging pores on the fretboard, or possibly frets, not sure. could be wrong. I am sure you are fairly expertise in the fine art of substitution for the products normally used. when I made myself self sufficient for 3 months (the generally recommended length of time), I found that the Sarajevo experience was a model for the checklist of things you want to make sure you have in stock, if they are not available. Man,I really LOVE your posts

After reading this thread I started using using Fast Fret around a month ago, and I have a doubt: how do you know when it is completely used, and you need to get a new one? When it feels dry?

Heres a couple of more articles on using olive oil on your guitar..
http://www.jazzguitar.be/how_to_string_a_guitar.html http://www.merde.org/guitar/carefeed.html http://www.guitarchordsmagic.com/how-to-string-a-guitar.html http://www.ernieball.com/forums/29525-post8.html Ive done my research before putting some olive oil on my $500 dollar guitar.. Seems like its a very popular oil for the strings and fretboard, and people have been using it for years.. I have no complaints with it. -------------------- |

I use one FastFret pack for months now, and it still haven't dried out. It sure lasts long.

I never tried olive oil or fast fret on the strings but if I were to test it I'd go for olive oil. Seem nicer to me to use a natural product and I'd even dare to play with my tounge or teeth knowing the strings are prepared with an oil that's said to be good for ones heart.
Healthy rocking!!! -------------------- My bands homepage
