Excellent product.
TrEr 28.10.2020
I have tried most of the fingerboard oils out there, including some that you can't find at any regular instrument dealers. This one is my favorite by far. The result is shinier and the wood looks deeper and more lively than with any other oils I've tried. The final result looks almost like that wood has gotten an ultra thin layer of laquer. Very, very beautiful. I've used this oil with excellent results on ebony and rosewood.

I also like the fact that this oil does not smell of anything. I've had some less than satisfactory results with other oils that seemingly smelled nice but reacted with the wood (or maybe some earlier applied oils) and turned out smelling very nasty.

Top ratings, highly recommended!!!

I can't speak highly enough about this product
Jonny Whatshisface 13.03.2021
For me, mineral oil is mineral oil. Sure, there's going to be some other components in here that help the mineral oil penetrate in to the wood etc - but this really has been a very good buy imo.

Most of the mineral oils I've used in the past have the annoying applicator tip, like a cotton ball built in that you use to apply the oil. In my opinion, that only causes people to overdo the oil in most cases. With the bellacura - just give a few drops and you're good to go.

I did test it on a fingerboard that's not on a neck just to do some spot tests, and tested it against two different other oils. The bellacura seemed to "stick around" longer and didn't just evaporate up quickly like the other ones did. The fretboard still looked really good and shiny an hour later.

Word of advice, as I've been seeing a lot of this the past few weeks. This isn't meant for you to put on your fretboard every string change or a few times a month. Hell, a few times a year may also be overboard. Your fingers will naturally oil the fretboard - just keep it clean.

But every now and then, you should oil your fretboard and when you do - this product is really pleasant to use and work with. And it doesn't have the annoying lemon smell to nor the artificial yellow colouring like "lemon oil."

Very good oil
Jorode 10.03.2021
This is the first fingerboard oil i have used but it made the fingerboard look very shiny and made the colours pop. I did not notice any smell.
I ordered this because of the positive reviews and i am very pleased with it. I rubbed it on with a microfiber cloth and it looked great

Perfectly good solution.
Stian L. 12.04.2024
I bought this due to reviews saying it added more shine and depth to the fretboard than other treatments. I tested it against a very common similar product and it looked the same on application. An hour later it had dried and looked the same. A month later I can't tell where I used this and where I used the other product.

That doesn't mean this is bad. It's just not better than your more famous oils. It's a perfectly good fretboard oil and if I had to use it for the rest of my life I'd be happy. But I'd also be happy with other brands.
