I know, I know, late to the party. I kept meaning to pick up a container (tube?) and just kept forgetting everytime I was in GC.
Anyway, I'm really impressed by these little guys. The neck on my Special is old and really well played, and these definitely brought some life back to the wood and gave the flaming of the maple a renewed 3d kind of effect that no oil I've ever used has done (was using pure lemon oil marketed for expensive violins previously). These are the reason I love EB so much, you guys are the only big American company innovating with every product you release. I know nothing with the EB name will just be marked up and repackaged crap (who would trust a fretboard conditioner with Fender's name on it to not be a $1 bottle of generic oil marked up to $5? Show of hands... anyone?)
On the down side, during the wipe down I noticed that my Special finally got the infamous neck pocket finish cracking after 12 years of staying strong
.
I think it was this winter during the ice storm when we lost power for almost two weeks and it got ridiculously cold. Only a cosmetic thing, but it still makes me hate ice even more!
