Fret Doctor™ is the ultimate product for conditioning and maintaining your fretboard. Made up of 30 natural components, Fret Doctor™ has become the only choice by top guitar luthiers and individual players. Having tried many products on the market (lemon oil, tung oil, linseed oil plus many others...) the staff here at Armstrong Music were amazed how just a tiny amount of Fret Doctor™ not only brings out the natural grain of the fretboard but also darkens the Rosewood, restoring it to the original colour. Fret Doctor™ is 100% natural and non-toxic. The main reason for oiling a fretboard isn't to darken it; it is to preserve it. Fret Doctor™ will bring up the natural colour, grain, and patina of a tropical hardwood, making it darker in appearance - it is effectively like giving starving wood a good meal.
Fret Doctor™ has been improved with a glass bottle with pipette for easier application. Select between two sizes of bottle - 30ml or 60ml.
Manufacturers description: Fret Doctor™ preserves and protects wood with a proprietary blend of plant derived oils, emulsifiers, and powerful antioxidants – it penetrates deeply and will not turn rancid.
Many fretboard oils are clear and colourless light mineral oil (baby oil) which is not what instrument makers use to impregnate the wood during manufacture. They clog the pores of the wood and hinder moisture transfer.
Fret Doctor™ will preserve your valuable instrument and maintain the dimensional stability of the wood. Fret Doctor™ holds and buffers the needed moisture level in the wood which retards the tendency to crack and split
