"We've gotten used to other bands coming
and admiring our guitar vaults on tour.
The first thing people want to know is "Who
does your fret work" I always point to
Jimmy Johnson and tell them it's the
Gorgomyte. I'm so used to great frets now
it's hard to remember life before
Gorgomyte!"
Thanks Boss
Tommy Shaw / STYX
Peter Frampton
Certainly one of the most legendary guitarists on the
planet, Peter is without equal when it comes to pure style,
tone and grace. The consummate professional, Peter
demands nothing but the best and every beautiful note
from his instrument displays that quality of his art. All of
Peter's instruments get the Gorgomyte treatment. What
more can I say, nothing, so let's hear what Peter himself
has to say about Gorgomyte.......
"Jimmy Johnson has worked with so many great guitar
players all with different individual needs. So when I first
saw his idea for cleaning frets I instantly thought,
"Eureka! - that's it! - All guitarists will love this!" Thanks
Jimmy ........ but I really wish I had thought of this myself!"
Peter has proven yet again that he's a true gentleman and
valued friend. Thank you Peter and everyone in your
entourage who I'd rather refer to as family and not just
friends
Megadeth
Since it's formation in 1983, Dave Mustaine's
Megadeth has released 23 albums. All of which went
gold and many platinum. More than just another
thrash metal band, Megadeth were faster, harsher
and more focused on instrumental skill than their
contemporaries.
Ricky Phillips
From his early days with The Babys and Bad English to his
work with rock legends Jimmy Page, Joe Cocker, Jeff Beck,
Roger Daltrey and dozens more, Ricky is one of this business'
most sought after bassists. Ricky's been a member of STYX
for over eight years now and has made this band the best
they've ever been. Here's what Ricky has to say about
Gorgomyte:
"Leave it to Jimmy Johnson to come up with a magic potion
for cleaning the skank off my basses. I'm one of those guys
who sweats through at least four bass changes a night. I also
insist on new strings nightly but you can imagine what's left
underneath...... a ton of gunk on the frets. Every few songs I
need a new horse. Now I play frets that are as smooth as an
Orangutan's butt. Thanks Jimmy & thanks Gorgomyte."
Thank you Ricky
"I thought only steel wool and elbow
grease could make my neck and frets
look this good. Gorgomyte is guitar
magic in a cloth"
Thanks Jeff
Jeff Watson / Night Ranger
Rick Wills
Rick's joined the team as my first celebrity bassist. If you've been a
fan of British rock than you'll know Rick from his work with almost
countless legendary acts. Let me see how good my memory is. In the
'60's Rick played with David Gilmour in "Joker's Wild" before David
left for Pink Floyd. David called on his friend to play bass with him
again when he recorded solo projects. Since that time Rick's
appeared with Peter Frampton in "Camel", toured with Roxy Music,
formed the Small Faces with Steve Marriot, Spent years in Foreigner
and recently was the bassman in Bad Company. This list of former
acts is far from complete but you get the idea. Rick's "The Man" and
I'm proud to have him on this list of great players.
Thanks Rick
Nick Wheeler "All American Rejects"
Since arriving on the scene in 2002 with their self titled
debut CD, The All American Rejects have gained
international acclaim. Since than the band has received
two Platinum Album Awards as well as the VMA's 2006
"Best Group" Video.
Brad Gillis
Brad's another multi-platinum selling artist who relies on
Gorgomyte for a super fast neck. He's been with Night
Ranger from the beginning as well as recording and
playing with Ozzie Osbourne and Greg Allman. Brad's
guitars are kept in lightning fast playing condition with
none other than Gorgomyte.
This stuff works GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!
For years I toured with some of the biggest bands in the world (Ozzy,
Night Ranger, Damn Yankees, Styx, Ted Nugent, Bad English, Prince
- TAFKAP, ZZ Top, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.) as a
Guitar Technician. I've tried everything for guitar. This stuff is the
biggest breakthrough guitar fretboard and fret cleaner I've ever seen!
Now, I work at an interactive Music Museum. I take care of hundreds
of guitars for the museum's interactive labs and eductional pursuits.
Gorgomyte gives me the time to REALLY clean the guitars as
I'm stringing and setting them up because it's so fast and easy!
Anyone can do it. Thanks Gorgomyte!
Mark Newman
Editor's Note: Mark is a very humble man but suffice it to say that he's handled
guitars for some of the industry's most important and influential players. He has
always been, and continues to be held in the highest esteem by his
contemporaries.
Scott Appleton
None, and I mean NONE of Neal Schon's guitars hit the stage without
seeing Gorgomyte on the frets and fretboard first. He is VERY
particular about the feel of his fretboard. and prior to Gorgomyte, I
had tried everything from other companies "string lubricants" to
Wesson Oil. Gorgomyte provides that smooth non sticky feel on the
fretboard, while also polishing the frets to a brilliant shine at the same
time!
Editor's Note: Scott is a highly sought after tech by the few who can afford his
top notch service. Among his list of fortunate players are:--
-RUSH
-Def Leppard-
-Neal Schon- Journey/Soul Sirkus/Countless others
-The B-52's
-Styx
-John Reagan and Bob Mayo with Peter Frampton
-Al Green
-Raul Malo
-The Oak Ridge Boys
-Terry Clark
-Nashville Studio Ace Brent Mason
I read the testimonials, and as a luthier for over thirty years, I had to
give this "Gorgomyte" a try. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
After just one quick pass of this coconut oil treated cloth I was a
believer. I've been polishing frets for years the same way everybody
else does, with steel wool. Never again. Not only is it easier, it's better
for the instrument. I've been careful to use the steel wool sparingly
but it's still removing precious fret wire. I wish I had this stuff when I
was just starting out. Guitars I work on never looked or played
better. Thanks JJ

“After 30 years on the road and running a couple of guitar repair
shops, I thought I’d seen all the best fretboard conditioners. Then JJ
sent me some GORGOMYTE and changed my whole approach to
fretboards. No guitar leaves one of my shops or goes out on stage now
without being given the full GORGOMYTE treatment. It saves me
time and effort and makes me look good too – thanks JJ !”
