I currently use guitar honey on my fretboard. How does this product compare please? Suggestions are welcome!

I can't compare with the honey because I have never used the honey but I can tell you that this lemon oil is a great product. I've used it on the driest fret boards and it always brings them back to life. Sometimes it takes more than one coat to bring back the really bad fret boards, but it still works. On newer fret boards it only needs one, very light coating to bring out the shine and slickness for easy playing and great looks. I highly recommend this product.

I have used both lemon oil and Guitar Honey to recondition older instruments. I prefer the Guitar Honey. it has more staying power and produces a more alcohol resistant finish. The shine and luster lasts much longer than lemon oil. After I do a repair job I give a bottle of it to the client. I do use the lemon oil as part of the cleanup and stripping process to get to bare wood. I will finish with a light carnuba and Guitar Honey mix for the broad flat areas but not on the fretboard itself, straight Guitar Honey there.

i personaly have not tried the honey,but it is something that i would like to try....as far as the 65 lemon oil,i like it a lot after 1 day it can soak into the dryest of woods,and bring out a new life and shine.

Bret: it is a very well made guitar, despite its cost. It sounds very low without an amp, as many other solid bodies, however, while travelling, I used my iPad for a large variety of tones at room level, and it worked very well. A small battery power amp works well, too. If you use a large amp, it sounds fine, however it is relatively clean/dry, as expected from any piezo pickup. There are several videos on YouTube that show show you how to restring it very easily.The neck is similar to my Tele ´63 reissue or Les Paul 60s neck. It is confortable and the fretwork is excellent. I don´t think you can make a better electric guitar of this size and weight. Bret: it is a very well made guitar, despite its cost.

Thanfully yes since all my guitars are rosewoodfretboards. This fluid is not really aggressive. You need some good amount of elbow grease along with the cleaner to get that player buildup off. That's likely a good thing as it's milder nature keeps you from overstripping the fretboard's finish. Some have written that it darkens the finish but my experience is the opposite...likely due to the dark dirt and oil buildup that it removes.

VACUUM, vacuum, vacuum! And dust dust dust... it leaves a fine layer over everything you don't cover before using it. Take out all your guitars or instruments if you don't want the finish ruined. I understand the need to use a product with no chemicals, but... this stuff does have its own set of issues. Definitely wear a face mask and glove up.

That is a hard question to answer requiring someone to know both amps very well. I will say this. This one is super cheap and is not really an amp but more of a practice tool when you require a cheap and small way to practice on the fly or in the bedroom. It is not loud, amazing or incredible in any way but it is far beyond acceptable for solo practicing at the price point and therefore hard to beat for the same price. But after having a look at the bacon and eggs amp, I would go with that instead as it has a dual purpose and can be used like a pedal. My guess is it will be close to the honeytone amp if you keep your expectations realistic. They are both for solo practice only it would seem. But hold on because it seems according to a few reviews that the bacon and eggs amp does not permit the distortion to be turned off and the volume can't be lowered or so reviews state but those could be wrong. If they are correct, then go with the honeytone amp. Good luck!

Absolutely! I love this stuff so much I just sent it to my daughter today--don't tell her, it's a surprise! But seriously, I use it on all my instruments, acoustic and electric and there is something in there for everything. All the best, George

I am not a professional guitarist but others have used it and find no difference from any other guitar in terms of volum or sturdiness. Use professional strings and it would sound really good.

yes! this was happening to me and i switched to Martin bronze strings (light .012-.054 gauge) and they don't bother my fingers anymore, and the sound is so much better!

This brand is great, I have been playing for many years as well acoustic and electric, this brand's acoustic is really good. I would recommend the lighter gauge ones though as they are more popular.

These things are not for people serious about their music. It will not stick to your instrument because I have tried it on my four guitars and mandolin. all instruments with smooth glossy finishes and they fall off quickly. I also tried it on other instruments owned by my friends. I would advise you to pay a little more and get something that will work for you.

after hand surgery i changed my washburn acoustic to nylon (most washburns have high enough action -wouldn't try it on an ovation or ibanez) it was excellent. BUT you must adjust. you'll figure it out. i used to tune in a higher key for less buzz but that is not necessary. gotta tell ya you'll lose volume and briteness & acoustic "clarity" but it is a sweet mellow sound; but i love bottom end.

I mixed it with Bee's wax to use in potting guitar pickups. The Bee's wax has definitely got a lower melting point, but in order to get it all melted I believe it was at around 200f and took quite a while for to amount I was using to completely melt. Note, I didn't break it up into really small peices though, which would have sped things up.

Hey Sam, although I am not specifically qualified to give you a definite yes or no answer to this question, I will state my opinion. After using these products extensively for a few years, I personally would not recommend using the polish on your fret board. I do highly recommend the Dunlop 65 'Lemon Oil' for your fret board though. I use the polish on my guitar body, neck and headstock. It shines up beautiful and after a few fingerprints and smudges you can just wipe it clean again with a cloth and it shines right back up like new. I use the lemon oil on the fretboard (and the bridge, just to make it shine). The lemon oil keeps the fretboard wood nicely moisturized and slick for all your needs.

I have found on my Martin that the strings are not very loud so I prefer to use a hard pick. I dont finger pick much but these strings are definitely quieter than others I have used. They have a different sound to them, I would suggest trying a set to see if they work for you. Ive been using them for over a year now and been happy with them.

I think that you need to use a good leather cleaner and I am not saying that Honey Leather cleaner is not a good one but if after trying that one first, I would try others until I had all of the stain removed before I would us the Leather Honey conditioner on the leather.
