Do I need to mask off the wood of my fingerboard before
polishing my frets like I would if I were using steel wool like
I've always done?
Absolutely not. That's one of the great things about
using Gorgomyte, it's dual purpose of being a metal
fret polisher and wood cleaner and conditioner means
you no longer have to spend all that time masking off
the wood first and risking scarring your precious
fingerboard.

How often should I use Gorgomyte on my guitar and can I
overdo it?
All players are different in that the acids that you
release when you sweat can vary from player to
player. I've come across guys that sweat profusely
and the next day when you open the guitar case, even
though you were on top of your gig and wiped it down
the previous night, the frets are dull and the wood of
the board is all gummed up. This is the perfect
candidate for Gorgomyte. One quick wipe down with
my monster cloth and than a good buffing out and his
guitar will look better than new. You'd never get away
with steel wooling his guitar everyday and still have
any fret wire left.

Can I only use Gorgomyte on my fingerboard and frets?
No. You can use Gorgomyte on any metal on your
guitar although I don't recommend the use of it on
gold plating. Gold plating on guitars is typically as
about as thin as gold plating can get so a polish
specifically made for gold would be better in that
application. You can however use Gorgomyte to clean
up bridges, tail pieces and it works especially well for
removing those stubborn sweat drops that mess up
your nickel plated humbuckers.

My most commonly asked question of all actually has
nothing to do with Gorgmyte as a product. Those who
know me know I only use the best and therefore they
don't question my product's effectiveness. What they
all want to know is, "Why Gorgomyte, of all the
possible names to chose from, why that?" I knew I'd
be asked this a lot, so here goes. Some years back,
while I was out on tour,the name of the particular band
will remain my secret, I was enjoying an afternoon get
together with some friends. There was a small group
of us, four to be exact. Well, as the afternoon went on
the level of silliness increased exponentially. Out of
seemingly nowhere, the guitarist and also my dearest
friend, decided that the group of us needed new alias',
and as he was the perfect candidate for coming up
with appropriate new monikers he chose vintage '60's
Japanese monster names for himself and his mates.
Godzilla was far too obvious and has already had his
fair share of publicity. What about all the other
Monster greats who were all but forgotten? Don't they
deserve recognition as well? They tore down just as
many buildings, crushed as many bridges and ripped
out any remaining power lines the other guys missed.
He decided he would, from that point on, be known as
Guiron. The others were to be known as Gammera
(the turtle monster), Goggles (the near sighted one)
and I was dubbed "Gorgo". As I said earlier, this was
quite a few years ago but some things in life just have
a way of sticking with you. For me it was "Gorgo".
Now that the truth is out, you can see why I had no
other choice when naming my new product than to
name it after it's founder, the mighty "Gorgo". Aren't
you glad you know the answer to that question now?

| Can I use Gorgomyte on maple fingerboards? The answer is yes. Light colored woods such as maple will always darken a slight bit when any kind of oil is applied to them. Most maple fingerboards are therefore lacquered to protect them from any discoloring. If your instrument has wear spots in the lacquer, expect a bit of darkening there when treating the board. Now that relic guitars are so popular this is an almost desirable effect. |
