How filthy are your guitars

After my guitar gets done killin' fascists, it's covered in the mud and the blood and the beer.

What's it look like after it's done killing communists?

Same, just fewer epaulettes.

Well, it ain't red.

Obviously, you have never seen photos from the old Soviet Union Mayday parades.

And Beau, if it ain't red, then you're probably doing it wrong.

Yeah, I laughed too.

I have been doing string changes and maintenance on my guitars all week. I recently got F-ONE oil for my fingerboards. The fingerboards look brand new. My Strat looks 5 shades darker.

What's in it? Mineral oil? I wonder how Carnuba wax would work on a fretboard? Would it gum up?

I had a friend who swore by a little bit of Johnson's paste wax and never had any ill effects. If you're thinking of using any car related products be careful that they don't have silicone in them. The silicone could cause problems later on during a refret or might cause issues refinishing the guitar body later down the road.

Nope

F-ONE gives wood its life back. F-ONE is formulated using a complex mixture of the finest ultra refined tree and seed oils to clean, condition & protect your fretboard/fingerboard. 100% free of any lemon oil extracts, waxes, petroleum distillates, silicone, and water. We chose not to use any lemon oil because it contains d-limonene, which is a strong solvent that is used to remove paint and glue. In addition, we believe the high acidity levels of lemon oil can dry out the fretboard over time and require more frequent fretboard care. F-ONE leaves your fretboard looking new, playing great and feeling smooth, never sticky or tacky. Our revolutionary formula penetrates & conditions the wood to dry fast and give it a new look for months. We use 100% naturally produced oils and is safe on all unfinished rosewood, ebony and maple fretboards. F-ONE oil is preferred by some of the most respected repair shops in the world.

I've been using this stuff. It works really well, and the smell is fantastic.

I like to clean it Weekly

That is hard to do when you have 20 instruments. I typically have 5 in heavy rotation, depending on the gig. Five or so stay at the practice space and don't make it home for maintenance unless an issue needs to be addressed.

Even when I was gigging heavy and we had 4-5 roadies none of them had tech skills. I have had one roadie in my life that could actually change a string.
