Fret Doctor

Post by suave eddie »

I have struck out searching for a source for Fret Doctor. I have read only rave reviews for this product but can't find it anywhere.

Guitar Center doesn't carry it.
Musician's Friend doesn't carry it.
The two largest local stores, Long&McQuade and Tom Lee don't have it, nor does a local mom and pop store.

Could not even find it on eBay.

Is it still in production? Does anyone know where to buy it?

My best bet is probably going to a furniture store and buying a pure (non petroleum product) lemon oil.

Don't put it anywhere near a maple board, they already have a clear finish coat that'll prevent any damage. By all means, rub some lemon oil onto a rosewood fretboard, it makes it lusher to look at.

Seriously, that's the biggest pile of BS marketing spin I've ever read. It'll improve your tone? How?
