What Music Nomad say:
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. Music Nomad 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, they 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. The revolutionary formula penetrates & conditions the wood to dry fast and give it a new look for months. The 100% naturally produced oils are 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.”

FAQ

• Q: Is this safe on finished fretboards that are painted or stained fretboards?
  A: Due to the lower quality of this type of fretboard we do not recommend this kit as it may remove the paint or stain on the fretboard.

• Q: I have allergies to peanuts and other nuts, does F-ONE Oil contain nuts in the formula?
  A: F-ONE Oil contains no nuts in our formula. We use a third party to make and bottle our F-ONE Oil Formula and can not guarantee that they are nut free facility so if you are extremely allergic to nuts we recommend you do not use F-ONE Oil.

• Q: What type of unfinished fretboard wood is F-ONE safe on?
  A: We have yet to hear of one unfinished fretboard it does not work amazing on, even maple. For a more detailed list visit musicnomad.com.

• Q: How often should I use F-ONE?
  A: The great thing about our petroleum free, lemon oil free, natural oil formulation we have, is it conditions for months. Lemon oil is petroleum based so it looks great for a few days and then starts to dry out the wood. If you play every day then use F-ONE every 4 to 6 months. If you play just 1 to 2 times a week, use every 6-9 months. Also, if your guitar is exposed to low humidity conditions you may need to do more often.

• Q: Will F-ONE work on all unfinished instrument wood besides my fretboard?
  A: Works great for unfinished wood bridges and tuning pegs.

• Q: Does F-ONE contain any petroleum, lemon oil or silicone?
  A: No

• Q: My guitar body and back of the neck seem to be unfinished wood, will F-ONE work on them?
  A: Often Matte finishes look unfinished but there is a seal in them that is hard to see. A seal of any kind over or in the wood will just block F-ONE from penetrating it and would not recommend it.

• Q: The body of my guitar and back of the neck is for sure unfinished wood. Will F-ONE work on them?
  A: Yes it will. Remember a little goes a long way with our oil and you don’t want the back of the neck feeling oily. Don’t overuse.

• Q: Is your F-ONE formulation Vegan?
  A: Yes.

About Music Nomad
Music Nomad was started by founder Rand Rognlien back in 2008 in California.  Previously Rognlien was the owner of a car cleaning company for 15 years and during this time developed over 100 cleaning products for the automotive industry.  Being an avid musician and guitarist he built ‘Music Nomad’ which originally started as a free online resource helping musicians produce and distribute their music.  Not content with this, Rognlien combined his expertise in his previous field with his love of music and over the next year he developed and created the Music Nomad Care line of products all made in the USA.  Throughout their research, Music Nomad extensively tested and tested their products with the help of musicians, technicians and music repair stores across the US.  Their products and formulas contain only the highest quality ingredients such as White Brazilian Carnauba Wax, UV protectants and gloss enhancers too all of which are 100% non-toxic and non-abrasive so no nasties in there!  Not to mention their bottles are made of 100% PET plastic which is the most environmentally and humanly friendly recyclable plastic on earth.

Today they have garnered numerous awards and their product line is used extensively in a list as long as your arm of top instrument factories across the globe including Tom Anderson Guitars, Taylor Guitars and Vigier Guitars to name just a few. 

Here at Strings Direct we’re excited to become a stockist of the Music Nomad care products.  We love that they have been created using the very best formulas all of which have been individually tailored for nearly all finishes and woods giving everybody a choice of a product they are able to use on their instruments.
