The ideal care solution for fingerboards made from rosewood, ebony, and other open-grain woods. Monty’s Instrument Food penetrates deep into bare wood with its natural formula, nourishing and protecting while enhancing the wood’s natural beauty. This premium conditioner extends the life of your fingerboard, creates a smooth playing surface, and brings out a beautiful natural luster.

Why Choose Monty’s Instrument Food?

Unlike many “lemon oil” products on the market, Monty’s Instrument Food is completely natural and solvent-free. While solvents may clean effectively, they dry out wood and can cause permanent damage over time. Our all-natural formula nourishes without compromising your instrument’s integrity.

Monty’s Montypresso – The Original Guitar Relic Wax

Authentic Vintage Tone and Appearance

Montypresso offers two distinct applications for achieving that coveted vintage look:

For Fingerboards: When applied to open-grain woods like rosewood or pau ferro, Montypresso darkens the wood to the rich, warm tones reminiscent of golden-era Brazilian rosewood, creating the appearance of a well-loved, broken-in instrument.

For Necks and Bodies: Gives the open grain on neck backs and worn body areas that authentic played-in character, replicating the natural patina that develops from years of playing.

Application Instructions:

1. Apply a generous amount to your fingerboard or desired area
2. Let sit for 5-10 minutes (longer application time enhances results)
3. Buff clean with a soft cloth

Pro Tip: For optimal results, apply multiple coats over time, allowing the stain to penetrate deeply into the wood for maximum effect.
