I’m assuming so, from the product description ‘...for use on all gloss & satin hard finishes.’ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Amazon at £7.50 + £3.20 postage but it was a quick check. Will check elsewhere for it as well Amazon are doing the full guitar kit with wax, neck honey and blue bottle for removing smudges etc and a microfibre cloth for £27 plus postage Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Krow Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Got this following a recommendation from another BC'er. According to the blurb: free of any lemon oil extracts, waxes, petroleum distillates, silicone, and water 100% naturally produced oils and is safe on all unfinished rosewood, ebony and mahogany fretboards Seems to work fine - I took the opportunity whilst restringing to give my Yammy BB1025's rosewood fretboard a bit of TLC and it's looking a lot happier: Edited February 20, 2020 by Al Krow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling for £1 less than Amazon - thanks for the tip off @Frank Blank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Blank Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Just received my Gerlitz No.1 from Posh Guitars, as someone commented (possibly here, possibly elsewhere) it arrived along with a free plectrum, rather chuffed... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
