The story of Gerlitz Guitar Honey begins in 1988. Harvey Gerlitz, master carpenter, amp designer, luthier, and guitar shop owner saw a need to create a fretboard conditioner that was formulated specifically for commonly used guitar woods. The existing market only offered repurposed furniture polishes and traditionally used lemon and linseed oils which hurt more than they helped. With his knowledge of wood and instruments, he employed a wood finish chemist to make the first version of Guitar Honey specifically formulated for use on guitars. After 30 years of constant testing, improving and feedback from the guitar community, Gerlitz Guitar Honey is the premier fretboard treatment. Gerlitz Guitar Honey fretboard oil is a unique blend of conditioning oils for rosewood, ebony, and other exotic woods that will cleanse and enhance your fingerboard's natural character, giving it a smooth silky feel and lustrous glowing sheen, while protecting against moisture, sweat, alcohol and grime in general. The results obtainable with Gerlitz Guitar Honey are as good or better than any other fingerboard oil or treatment available.
