Instrument Food?!

Introducing Monty’s instrument food, a superbly useful guitar finishing wax.

What Monty's say...
"Monty’s instrument food really is the perfect way to indulge your guitar. We use it on every Rosewood fingerboard to achieve a luxurious lustre and buttery-smooth feel, applying it after lemon oil and before buffing. We also use to give our natural wood necks a gloriously velvety finish. Really though, it is great for sealing and conditioning any kind of raw wood- it can even be used to finish an entire guitar! It feels amazing and -trust us- your guitar will love you for it."

Instrument Food is the perfect solution for conditioning fingerboards made from rosewood, ebony, or any open grain wood. These woods are always at the mercy of the elements, they absorb the dirt and sweat from your hands and will dry out over time, leading to cracking and permanent damage to your guitar neck.

Monty’s Instrument Food fends this off by penetrating the bare wood and with its magic formula, while at the same time sealing in that goodness to give the wood a longer life, smooth feel, and a wonderful lustre.

Unlike most ‘lemon’ oils, Monty’s Instrument Food is all-natural and doesn’t contain any solvents. While solvents are effective at cleaning fretboards, they also dry them out leading to unpleasant, permanent problems if used in conditioners. 

It is also great for many other luthier jobs, sealing and conditioning any type of open-grained wood, it is great on the back of stripped guitar necks, giving them a glassy smoothness, lubricating screw heads to preserve the thread and avoid stripping, lubricating guitar nuts for the perfect setup.

The instrument food is made in-house by Monty's with beeswax sourced from within London and fragrance'd with a subtle hint of grapefruit. 

A great finishing wax, for fingerboards to help keep the wood healthy and nice to play too! 

Applying Instrument food

To feed your guitar with Monty’s instrument food, use a clean cloth (kitchen towel works great) to work it into the wood, before then wiping away any excess. It really is as simple as that.
