Murph Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Bench Tested. Just got some for my daughters '08 Fireburst Lester. I'm thinking my '07 ES-339 might need a drink? Made In U.S.A. What is it? Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chongo Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Bench Tested. Just got some for my daughters '08 Fireburst Lester. I'm thinking my '07 ES-339 might need a drink? Made In U.S.A. What is it? Murph. Mostly likely mineral oil, naptha (lighter fluid) as primary ingredients and a few odd bits. As are most of them. Lemon oil polishes are, for the most part, mineral oil. Most of the string cleaners are heavier on the naptha (as an oil remover/solvent) and lighter on the mineral oil (which remains behind and lubricates the strings and helps prevent rusting). Gibson recommends using naptha to clean rosewood fretboards that have a lot of grime and oily dirt, followed by mineral oil to seal it a bit. You don't want to use *real* lemon oil (from processed lemon peels) for a fretboard by the way; that's not what it's for. It's mostly for cooking. Rosewood oil is a completely different thing and also not recommended for rosewood fretboards. It's used in the perfume industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I used it on my 339 a couple of times. It's some kind of light lemon oil type of stuff. It's works good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokestack59 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I just bought Dunlop 65 lemon oil. Haven't tried it yet on my 355. Hope it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Ok I'm going to keep my avatar and change my name to "WorseBluesPlayer." No-one could copy my avatar unless they bought a Mesa Blue Angel, then bought a "Boogie" badge, and stuck it on a road case with an ES-339 in a Hercules stand, with a Boss tuner and a Michelob on top, in a bar in Mayfield Kentucky. I don't think...... Unless they just copied it? Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Update. I used it on her '08 Les Paul. It darkened the heck out of it. It was very thirsty, though. I've held off using it on my 339. I'm torn................. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
