What lemon oil to clean the neck of a ray?

Sign in to disble this ad
I was just wondering what brand lemon oil people use to clean the neck of their stingray (or sterling). Am I supposed to use pure lemon oil or a lemon oil furniture cleaner?

I use baby oil. Avoid furniture lemon oil because it may also contain other junk. My understanding is that guitar lemon oil is mineral oil (like baby oil) with a lemon scent.

I use Kyser Dr. Stringfellow Lem-Oil on my Stringray...it works wonders. You can get it at Guitar Center.

Eh, lemon oil is not the best thing to use on EBMM necks IMO. If it is actually dirty, the better thing to do is use 0000 steel wool and then rub a light coat of gunstock oil on.

On the neck?! I use that stuff for my fretboard, but I never thought about using it on the neck.

You're right. I am sorry...yes, use a steel wool cloth for the neck!
