ESE LEMON OIL
New to 2026 is also the start our of production of tech supplies, starting with Lemon Oil, an essential in any guitarists arsenal of supplies, Lemon Oil helps hydrate the fretboard and serves as a protection for the woods that is coats, helping prevent cracking and dry woods. Our lemon Oil also features an effective spray application, unlike other Lemon Oil's that you rub over the fretboard with an applicator or just dribble by pouring out the bottle, which creates unnecessary mess or accidental over excessive amounts.
​
Our Lemon Oil also cleans the fretboard like none other, allowing you to take a dirty fretboard, coated in that stubborn dirt, to a gleaming fresh look, even better than day 1, allowing the wood to really show its natural grain.
​
Selling for 7 pound only as of launch, head on over to our store to pick yourself up some of the finest Lemon Oil.
