What finishes is Guitar ONE safe on?

Because it has a polish and wax it will shine up your instrument finish amazing. Thus we recommend using on gloss finishes and semi-gloss finishes only. Do not use on Matte finishes unless you want a shine. Also see below on gummy/soft nitro finishes.

Is Guitar ONE safe on Nitro finishes?

It is safe 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.

Will Guitar ONE 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.

What is the difference between the Guitar ONE (MN103) and the Guitar Polish (MN101), and which should I use?

The Guitar ONE (MN103) is an all-in-one cleaner, polish and wax. It is the perfect product for regular maintenance on a gloss finish, and it works well on Nitro and Poly finishes, leaving a mirror like shine.

The Guitar Polish (MN101) is a paste polish for a deeper clean on gloss finish guitars. You can also use the Guitar Polish for your hardware to remove oxidation (please use caution on gold-plated hardware).

Should I clean my strings and unfinished fretboard with Guitar ONE?

No we have other products for String Cleaning (String Fuel) and unfinished fretboards (F-ONE Oil)

How often should I use Guitar ONE?

If you play every day then once a week is great. If you play 1 to 2 times a week then once a month is great.

My Guitar ONE bottle sprayer is not working.

Make sure you always shake before using as this product does contain small particles of polish and wax that can clog up sprayers. To remove the clog we recommend running hot water through it while using the pump to free up what is stuck. If that does not work, shoot us an email at info@musicnomad.com and we will send you a replacement sprayer.

Is the Guitar ONE formulation Vegan?

Yes.

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

No that is the date that we filled the bottle.

What is the shelf life for Guitar ONE?

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 it. If it ever smells rancid it may have gone bad.

Can I recycle my bottle?

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

I am the proud owner of a Gibson ES-175 Semi-Acoustic. I bought not long ago the cleaning set from another brand. When using the other brand product, it left a film on my ES-175 and all the rubbing and polishing in the world would not take away that film or fog on the otherwise almost mirror-like surface of that guitar. Today, I bought your 5-piece Care Pak and I started using “The guitar ONE” All I can say is that I am overwhelmed with the result and so is my guitar. It is absolutely perfect and it does not leave behind the film/fog like the other brand did. Well done, MusicNomad Team, for having created a superior guitar care product. I can recommend it to all my other friends who own guitars.

I have been a Guitar tech for over 3 decades and have tried every cleaner on the market. All I can say is – THANK YOU! I travel with and care for guitars that are historically significant and need constant upkeep due to the demanding schedules of my Artists. Your “One” polish is simply incredible!

John Mooy, guitar tech for many artists including George Benson, Jimmy Messina said.

This is hands down the best polish anyone here at the store has ever used. It has quickly become the de facto standard cleaner for all product pictures and high end instruments in the store. I know what you’re thinking: “How much better can this polish be than any other polish?” Let me put it to you like this. Imagine every other polish is a Toyota. They’re reliable and certainly get the job done. MusicNomad Guitar ONE polish? A Ferrari. No, a gold plated Ferrari.

Sound Beach Music in Long Island, NY blogged about our Guitar ONE.

I bought a bottle of The Guitar One product and it is really good! I’ve retired my Fender guitar polishing products and will never go back to them… Thanks for a great product!

David Clemons a musician in Indianapolis, IN emailed us.

We’ve been using MusicNomad products exclusively for all instrument cleanings now for over 6 months and absolutely love the performance of all the products. Why do we use MusicNomad products? Because they work really well and easy! The Guitar One in particular excels at ease of use while providing wax protection and no sore muscles trying to disperse the wax. And you generate a wonderful shine in record time, no B.S.! Oh, and it smells really good. Use it in your store and the smell alone will get customers asking what it is you’re using. An easy sell!

Matt’s Music, Stage and School in Templeton, CA said.

I’m writing in regards to “The Guitar One” spray wax. I do a lot of set ups on my customers and my own instruments and this is by far the best product I have used for the finish. And on top of being a great product, it smells great! I now make it a point to ask the customer what kind of care products they use and ALWAYS recommend your products.

We love Guitar ONE and all our guys use it!

Kyle of Raritan Bay Guitar (Freehold, NJ), the largest repair shop in the nation.

We have tried every polish over the years and this is the best polish we have ever used. The first time we used The Guitar ONE with your Microfiber Suede Polishing Towel it blew us out of the water. We took an old black dirty guitar and gave it a showroom finish in minutes.

It’s the only product we endorse, sell and use in our shop.

Stephen Gallagher of Gallagher Guitars (Wartrace, TN) who custom crafts acoustic guitars since 1965 said.

We use MusicNomad’s Guitar One polish every day, all day here at the Kala workshop for ukuleles and basses. Guitar ONE is a great way to add the final touch to an instrument if you want it to have the professional look. It also adds a soft, glassy feel to the instrument, especially on gloss finishes. It works great for prepping a finish for quick passes on the buffing wheel and does wonders for satin finishes. Great work, MusicNomad!

Kala Ukulele, the internationally known Ukulele manufacturer, said.

Wow!!!!!! My name is Jesse Slater and I am a faithful customer of David and the guys at Morrison Brothers in Mississippi. Dave told me about (The Guitar One) and all I could say was WOW after trying it and seeing for my self what it did for my Black Beauty. I was sold on the other polish we will not call names (form. 65) but now, well I haven’t had anything this good since black gold you know Texas T. I just wish the guys at Morrison Brothers would take back the unused other stuff. Thanks again MusicNomad and Morrison Brothers you guys put the shine back in my eyes.

An enthusiastic user that emailed us after the first time he used our Guitar One.

I have been touring for 10+ years and MusicNomad makes by far the best polish out there. It’s the only thing I use to keep Jane’s Addication’s guitars looking sharp. And it smells SO damn good.

Dan Cleary, Guitar Tech for Janes Addiction, had this to say about the Guitar ONE.

So I never thought that I could completely get rid of my sweat from my guitar necks but after one application of the ONE, all of my guitar necks feel brand new!!! And I’ve been using competitors stuff for year and nothing worked!

@Enrique0166 commented on IG about our Guitar ONE.

Whatever you guys put in “The One” polish is magic! I spray the neck of Morgan and Tyler’s guitars with that before every single guitar change during a show.
