How is it? I'm contemplating buying a cloth. From what I hear it's not bad. |

| | | | I just posted about this on a thread about maple fretboards. I got some of this stuff and was floored. It's amazing how much crud came off the fretboard and how well it cleaned the frets. Try it. Youll like it. I was skeptical about it too. Plus, it smells good too! |

Best price I've found is here.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2009 Location: Antwerp, Belgium | | I have used Gorgomyte on my basses (rosewood boards) and many of my friends' guitars as well. We all agree it seems to keep the wood healthy (and in case of rosewood, dark and chocolatey), and the frets shiny and easy-to-bend. Love it! 
EDIT: the strings are easy to bend. The frets remain as they are. But shiny!

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2000 Location: Avondale Estates, GA, USA | | | I just used Gorgomyte on two of my basses, which are 14 and 13 years old, respectively. Amazing! The frets shine like they're brand new. I used an old white t-shirt to buff the fretboards and frets, and a lot of dirt and grime came off. And, it might just be marketing seeping into my subconscious, but both basses do seem to play better now. What a cool product.

Miracle Cloth equals Gorgomyte??? - The Gear Page Do Your Housework Better

Only issue I ever had was on a maple board that wasn't finished and it got some of the black funk that comes off the frets in the wood grain just a little but I couldn't get it back out. I even tried denatured alcohol. Just a word to the wise.
