The Perfect Guitarist Tool Kit to Clean, Restring & Repair Your Guitar

What finishes is Guitar Detailer safe on?

Because it is a straight cleaner with no polish or wax it does an amazing job on many finishes including Gloss, Matte and Satin Guitar Bodies and Necks, plus Metal Hardware and Plastic on the Guitar.

Will Guitar Detailer clean my hardware and remove oxidation on my hardware?

It will do great for general cleaning on the hardware but no it will not work for oxidation removal, which needs a bit more abrasives. We have other products that address hardware oxidation such as Pro Strength Guitar Polish.

Is Guitar Detailer safe on Nitro finishes?

It is if the Nitro finish is hard and not soft with any buildup. If it has buildup do not use any spray type product as it may mix in with the buildup and cloud it up. For soft and cloudy nitro use our Guitar Pro Strength polish.

Are the liquid formulations Vegan?

Yes

I see a date on the bottle is that the expiration date?

No that is the date that we filled the bottle.

I have allergies to peanuts and other nuts, do the liquids contain nuts in the formula?

These liquids contain no nuts in our formula. We use a third party to make and bottle our formulas and can not guarantee that they are nut free facility so if you are extremely allergic to nuts we recommend you do not use the liquids.

What type of unfinished fretboard wood is F-ONE safe on?

We have yet to hear of one unfinished fretboard it does not work amazing on, even maple. For a more detailed list view our product advisor in the menu and many unfinished woods it has worked on is listed.

How often should I use F-ONE?

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.

Will F-ONE work on all unfinished instrument wood besides my fretboard?

Works great for unfinished wood bridges and tuning pegs.

Does F-ONE contain any petroleum, lemon oil or silicone?

No

My guitar body and back of the neck seem to be unfinished wood, will F-ONE work on them?

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.

The body of my guitar and back of the neck is for sure unfinished wood. Will F-ONE work on them?

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.

What is the shelf life for these bottles?

Each bottle has a date marked on when we filled it. If stored at room temperature the shelf life should be 3 years, but for sure can last longer. Always shake the bottle well before using. If it ever smells bad it may have gone bad. This is a natural product so if not stored at room temperature or if bacteria gets in it, it can go rancid. This is very rare and we will replace it at no charge if you bought it within 3 years of the date on the product, email us at info@musicnomad.com and give us the details.

Can I recycle my bottles?

Yes, our bottles are made out of PET, the most environmentally friendly plastic. PET is what water bottles are made of.

How should I care for the cloth?

For best results, hand wash the cloths in warm water and air dry. Do not iron. You can machine wash. If machine washed, use warm water and wash by itself. Do not use bleach. Tumble dry low and use no fabric softener or dry sheets.

Will The Octopus strip?

If used for guitar care, it should not, but over time you may have some wear and tear. The Octopus handle is made of a really strong special plastic that won’t scratch or ding your hardware, so make sure you use the correct size and that all 6 sides of the wrench are engaged on the nut to avoid slipping and damage to the Octopus.

Carl Harvey, guitarist for the legendary Reggae band Toots and the Maytals had this to say about Guitar Detailer

I have been using MusicNomad’s Guitar Detailer for the past year. I’ve used it on all my guitars, electric and acoustic and I can honestly say that it is the best product of its type that I’ve ever used. My guitars always look great and I never have to fear tossing my damp micro-fiber cloth in my gig-bag because the product smells great. It looks like I spent a lot of time polishing but in fact it takes a couple minutes. I recommend MusicNomad whole-heartedly and enthusiastically.

Tom Anderson Guitars (Newbury Park, CA), one of the world’s finest feeling, playing and sounding electric guitars had this to say about F-ONE Oil

We’ve been using MusicNomad’s F-ONE Oil for a while now and love what it does for the fingerboard. It’s very easy to use and reasonable in cost. Highly recommend it.

Tommy R had this to say about the Octopus:

This is an amazing addition to my toolkit – this is going to make routine maintenance easier and super-fast. I’m going to order an extra for my gig tool kit and one for my home toolbox. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to do simple maintenance. Quality construction, all the sizes you’ll need…this is already one of my go to set up tools.

MacNicols Guitars a dealer (Salt Lake City, UT) had this to say about our Nomad Tool

The Nomad Tool is great as a string cleaner, but also works wonders cleaning underneath the strings near the bridge, as well as other hard to reach areas. The fine, ultrasoft brush fibers are great for cleaning tuning pegs, bridge pin areas, and other spots. The brush also is the best “amp duster” I’ve come across. I recommend the Nomad Tool to any guitarist.

Matt Kennedy, Touring Tech for Morgan Wallen had to say about our GRIP ONE:

Finally an all-in-one string changing tool that actually works. The bearing design on these are the best I’ve seen, making this more durable than any of its competitors on the market. It’s called the “GRIP ONE” but everyone needs two of these.
