Guitarists can basically be divided into two categories: Those who don't care about how their instrument looks, and those who work hard to keep it looking like brand new for as long as possible. For the latter, MusicNomad has developed The Guitar One – a unique all-in-one guitar care product that combines three functions in a single innovative formula, so users no longer have to buy three different bottles to be able to clean, polish, and protect the finish of their guitar for an amazingly streak-free, brilliant shine.
The Guitar ONE comprises a proprietary (and presumably secret) combination of ingredients that has been specially developed by MusicNomad to enable users to clean, polish, and protect their instrument in just one go. It is the ideal all-in-one solution for quickly removing unsightly grime, fingerprints, or smudges and creating a mirror shine on all types of glossy finishes. The Guitar ONE uses the hardest wax found in nature – carnauba wax from the Brazilian carnauba palm – as a natural protectant, which is eminently suitable for protecting glossy finishes and filling even the tiniest scratches on the surface. MusicNomad's The Guitar ONE will make an instrument's finish look like brand new – or even better!
The Guitar ONE has been specifically developed for all users who want to keep their gloss-finish guitar, bass, mandolin, or ukulele looking shiny and spotless. Its innovative formulation is eminently suitable for application on every type of instrument with a glossy finish, even lacquered brass instruments. Of course, The Guitar ONE is also an excellent solution for professional service technicians and guitar builders who want to restore instruments to their original beauty after repair. Since this all-in-one care product creates a protective film with a long-lasting shine, it should only be used on glossy finishes and is therefore not recommended for instruments with a matt or used-look aged finish, unless a shiny result is desired.
MusicNomad was founded by Rand Rognlien, a specialist for automotive paint care products and a passionate hobby musician. When he launched the MusicNomad web portal in 2008 to build a network for himself and his fellow musicians along the lines of Facebook, he needed a strategy to raise the necessary funds. That was when Rand's extensive professional expertise came into play and he started to develop professional instrument care products for all kinds of materials and surfaces, from lacquer and metal to bare wood, which he soon complemented by a selection of special tools. Since then, MusicNomad has become a household name in music communities in over 50 countries worldwide and is the preferred choice of numerous renowned guitar manufacturers, such as Taylor Guitars and Martin Guitars.
The Guitar ONE cleaning and polishing formula comes in a convenient spray bottle that allows precise amounts of liquid to be applied in a very targeted manner. The only accessory required is a soft cotton or microfibre cloth – ideally one from the MusicNomad brand (available separately). All users then have to do is spray the liquid cleaner onto the instrument's glossy finish or the polishing cloth and lightly wipe the surface in a circular motion without applying too much pressure. The Guitar ONE is safe to use on all types of glossy finishes that are commonly found on guitars, including lacquer, nitrocellulose, polyurethane, and even shellac. And on top of that, it also has a pleasant scent, so users can look forward to a great shine AND a great smell.
