McKnight’s Fretboard Revival, Lustrous Conditioning Balm

[UncleJesse]

I just used some on a brand new ES-335 that had a pale scratchy rosewood board. I was so excited to slather it on there I forgot to take before pics but after pics will be posted tomorrow morning! It's looking great right now just like my Iris DF did after I applied it last summer!

[Tim McKnight]

Thanks for the update Jesse. Yes, please post pics whenever its convenient for you? We always like to see how the FB balm is working on other folks guitars.

UncleJesse,

This is music to our ears. Speaking of music we hope yours sounds sweeter now that the fretboard looks alive and fresh.

I put a thicker layer on and left it sit 2 hours then wiped it off. Then a thinner layer i let sit overnight and it was pretty much completely dried/absorbed by this morning. I really wish I’d taken before pics. It’s a million times better!

Thank you for showing us how well the Revival kit worked for you. It does look nice. Your fretboard is thanking you.

Please let us know when you need more.

I posted the 2023 McJam in the wrong thread. Sorry

Here are the results on a Collings I35LCV. I finally remembered to take before and after pics. Note-I did not use steel wool or anything else on the board before I applied other than wiping down with a cloth. I hate cleaning up after steel wool

We had a recent inquiry if our product contained any silicone and it does NOT.

We have 3 sizes available: small $20, medium $30 and large $40 for sale and all sizes are currently available. These prices include shipping by mail in the continental USA. International mail is an option but we will need your complete mailing address sent to us by PM so we can get an accurate price quote prior to payment. We recently mailed a tin to Scotland and the mail cost was nearly $20 USD and it arrived in less than a week which is often times faster than mail within the US.

It comes as a kit with complete instructions of how to use the product. Also you can read many reviews within this thread.

Thanks for posting your pictures @UncleJesse. I noticed in the upper portion of the picture that you did not apply the product to all of the wood up close and adjacent to the frets. You did achieve coverage when you wiped the excess off. However, I would like to suggest the next time that you use it to make sure to apply the product to all of the bare wood and allow it to penetrate and soak in for a few hours for optimal benefit. If you see any areas that appear to be dry, where the product has absorbed into the wood, apply a second coat and allow that to soak in as well. This will result in more complete absorption and coverage and you should notice that your FB will maintain its beautiful appearance for an even longer period of time.

Tim's Fretboard is the perfect stocking stuffer gift. The item is small and easy to hide from your other favorite guitar players. This is the best time to get the tins to you before Christmas.

Don't delay while making a second guess on the value of this treasure your guitar is calling for. Barring weekend and holiday post office hours your item(s) will be mailed the day he gets your payment.

E-mail Tim today so your Christmas morning can be filled with excitement as your guitar smiles at you knowing how deeply you care.

This looks like a great stocking stuffer!

Sorry if I missed it but what is the shelf life of this product?

[Tim McKnight]

I’d say forever but I don’t think we will be around long enough to prove it The product comes in a sealed tin and I doubt it will ever go bad or dry out since the tin is air tight.
