One has to push down the bottle on the fretboard until a the oil starts to flow, there is some sort a of valve in the top of the bottle which will open upon pressure. No need to squeeze. It took me a few attempts to figure it out, because it only says no squeezing on the bottle.
It also says PUSH DOWN on the bottle lol. Same with the fingerboard deep conditioner and string lube. Sponge tip products need pressed down to be saturated
Do not use the lemon oil on maple wood especially if it is unfinished although a tiny might be ok and do not use polish on any matt or satin finish hope that helps :)
For finished maple necks, I just use a towel with soap water and buff it. Then I rub it again with a plain wet towel with no soap. Finally I dry it with a regular dry towel.
That clean & polish spray is impressive 👍 , fretboard oil squeeze bottle 👍 ... I added nut sauce 👍 , it all went well on my 70s Strat , Auto Trim tuner knobs are next .. I just found them 👍 after my G string malfunction. Tomorrow another day .. ....btw I just look at your black amp knob T-shirt and you don’t have XXL in stock yet and last year when I look it was same results..
I've just recently purchased a couple of beautiful acoustic guitars an Epiphone Hummingbird and a Sigma GJA-SG200 as expected with any new guitar they're covered in fingerprints and furniture polish isn't very useful but the 65 polish is perfect for the job they both look like they are coated in glass
I have a question regarding the Dunlop "lemon" oil. Will this oil help clean, i.e. remove gunk and dirt, from the fretboard, or is it simply a conditioner to apply after removing the dirt?
I would use the polish stuff for the fretboard first and wipe it off. Naptha also does wonders for the same thing and recommend using Naptha over the polish. After the fretboard is dry then use the lemon oil. Push it down on the fretboard to get a little bit of saturation and then wipe it off.
You can use just a dry cloth if its not dirty. Light amount of lemon oil on a cloth is ok on unfinished maple if its dry. Dunlop lemon oil is overpriced. just get a big bottle of formbys at your local hardware store.
I sprayed the cleaner directly on my guitar, but I quickly wiped it away. Is this going to have any permanent damage to the finish of the guitar? Thanks
Hi, i oiled the ebony fretboard of my Jazzguitar with dunlop lemon oil yesterday. Now it feels a little oily! Ist that normal and will it it go away by time or did I overoil it and what can I do to fix it if If I did
You can clean the metal or plastic covers on pickups with the standard guitar polish, but may want to use a contact cleaner such as Deoxit for the coil windings themselves.
Will the polish work as a string cleaner all I have is the polish the strings sat for a little and feel grimey am I better off using water and cloth or 65 polish
Dude strings are not actually made by NASA or extraterrestrial technology. Strings can be cleaned easily by all kinds of shit.. Plus they are pretty cheap even if you ruin them by using kerosene or napalm.
That is a great option for fretboards that have a bit more buildup. It is available in the expanded guitar maintenance kit: www.amplifiedparts.com/products/maintenance-kit-dunlop-guitar-care-products
i used dunlop 65 on rotosound bass strings and , new set of daddario pro steel strings and made both of my sets mellow tone, while i like full brightness on the strings, only recommend this on flatrounds bass strings or to some players that dont like tone in their sound, if u like bright sound , dont apply it
Dunlap 65 polish and cleaner ruined the chrome finish on the pickups on my es 335, I did not intentionally use it to polish pickups just from going over edges while polishing rest of guitar ,not a good thing ,also not so great on my Gibson J200 ,finish will never be the same, the fretboard Dunlap is good
Hello Justin! Is the Dunlop Lemon oil Fretboard Conditioner suitable for INDIAN LAUREL wood on SQUIER Affinity series fretboards? Please help. Thank you, the video is very helpful :)
Hey Nicolás. Dunlop specifies that the lemon oil should not be used specifically on finished fretboards. This product is meant to soak into the pores of an unfinished fretboard to clean, moisturize, and protect the wood. A finished fretboard already has a protective coating of poly or lacquer.
Lemon oil for guitars often have lemon scent and yellow colour added to them, which will discolour and make lighter woods like maple dry. If your maple fretboard is not finished and it feels dry, you can use other guitar oils like the Music Nomad's "The F-one conditioner" which is a product that contains different oils, but no lemon oil or scent. If you google you can probably find other brands that make similar products that are safe for maple fretboards.
I use ultraglide 65 to clean the strings, there is still a lot of liquid in the bottle but all the pad that crawls on the strings has worn out. Now the plastic spout protrudes from where the liquid comes out (I don't know how to attach the photo). But is this normal?
Dunlops states on the bottle that it is not to be used on maple boards. This is just a guess as to why but I imagine that it can creep under the finish and possibly cause issues.
The lemon oil ... stink oil, greasy, disgusting ... high-end rosewood fingerboard in Martin after moistening has changed and the guitar does not tune ... I do not recommend this shit

Yeah... there was clearly ZERO lemon oil being put on that fretboard...
Fun fact:
You can buy the 3 bottles in a box for ~$20.
You can buy the same 3 bottles individually for ~$12 total
Wow ... business as usual
Haha! It’s marketing to make you buy the 3 separately. Thus, they have tons more sales. ;)
Check your bottle sizes... You definitely CANNOT buy any of the 4oz Dunlop products for $4. LOL
No oil came out..
I thought that, when I used it on mine it was obvious it came out.
Yeah, no oil came out. Fretboard looked worse than when he started 😂
9/11 was an inside job too
Press harder, goofy
I know this is a few months old, but thanks for posting this; very helpful.
Thanks for the kind words, Cajun Queen!
The lemon oil saved my fretboard from neglect, was looking at my 5 string and thought it looked a bit dry, so I oiled it and it looked like new!
Do you play like new?
@@sotirzvanidjubre4109 haven’t played in a while, so might as well be new to playing 🤣
I use another similar product. I usually apply it and let it soak over night. Then I wipe it the next morning

Hello? Which dunlop product should I use for maple neck and fretboard?

@@gokhanayvazoglu6295there isn’t any
Used this stuff loads of times great stuff for the money always works well 👍
Great gift ideas y'all ... The Dunlop stuff is quality and trusted (I sometimes use the lemon oil to remove the stickers from polyurethane finishes)
That clean & polish spray is impressive 👍 , fretboard oil squeeze bottle 👍 ... I added nut sauce 👍 , it all went well on my 70s Strat ,

What about using the 01 to get the fretboard clean? And then Dunlop lemon oil 65 for the fretboard- I’ve seen other ppl recommend this process…

No butty. That's for gloss finish. I believe there are products available for matte finish on guitars
What to use on a satin maple fretboard?
The standard guitar polish will work on satin finishes, including maple necks.

Thats a clean guitar. Should've used a dirty one to see the efficiency.

I heard Dunlop 65 has silicone in it, which is terrible for nitro finishes right? I’ve already used it on my Gibson’s and I’m afraid I’ve ruined them.
me too,, very bad on my J 200, finish will never be the same although nothing I can do

amplifiedparts what kinds of issues it may occur?
Rizky Hadi Felani Maple fretboards usually have a finish. Lemon oil will remove/destroy it.
@@hadifelani I say go ahead and use it. Let us know the results.
Dunlop 65 polish is mostly water. Dont waste your money.
lol he didn't even put any of that oil on the fretboard
Not suitable for Satin finished guitar. Be careful..
There's hardly any oil going on the fretboard LMFAO
That last demo looked uh.... well... faked.
Sounds like he says dumb lop😂😂😂😂
The lemon oil ... stink oil, greasy, disgusting ... high-end rosewood fingerboard in Martin after moistening has changed and the guitar does not tune ... I do not recommend this shit
you must've done something wrong, works wonders for me
Does the polish have silicone in it?
While the ingredients are not specified, it does mention that the polish is biodegradable. Silicone isn't biodegradable, so it shouldn't.
