Dr Duck's Axe Wax and String Lube is the ultimate Organic cleaning-polishing-moisturising formula for all guitars and other musical instruments including brass, woodwinds, orchestral strings and more...

An all-in-one cleaner and conditioner for every part of a guitar, Axe Wax has become the choice of professional luthiers, guitar techs and players worldwide. It is also one of our most used workshop products - we love it.

The secret formula contains no wax, abrasives, silicones, synthetics or acids, making it suitable for all timbers, finishes and plastics including vintage instruments.

The most common use is for conditioning fingerboards and other raw timber parts however, Dr Ducks Axe Wax may also be used to clean finishes, lubricate hardware and strings. It can also be used as the oil component when French Polishing.

Dr Duck’s Ax Wax is an incredible product that really works. An all-inclusive, self-proclaimed ‘marvel mystery oil of the guitar industry,’ it protects your finish, moisturises your fretboard, cleans your strings and lubes up the string contact points. Dr Duck's does it all without any wax, abrasives, silicones, synthetics or acids.

The generous 4oz bottle goes a long way and comes with an applicator flip top cap. All you need is a polishing cloth to see the incredible potential of this product. Here are just some of the ways you can use it:

Simply put a few drops of Axe Wax on an applicator patch, spread it around, leave it for a couple of minutes then buff with a fine all-cotton or microfibre cloth. Axe Wax does not dry, so if it still appears wet or if it feels sticky to the touch, just give it a little more elbow grease. It doesn’t tint or stain the finish, and it is gentle enough to use on almost any finish. You can use it on the entire guitar, including metal parts such as pickup covers and tuning keys as well as on plastic parts such as pick guards and electronics cavity covers.

Dr Duck recommends cleaning around the frets with a tooth brush prior to using Axe Wax on your fretboard. Once you’ve done that, the procedure is much the same as for the body. Just buff it out with an all-cotton or microfibre polishing cloth afterwards. This will clean the fretboard itself as well as the frets, and make the playing surface feel nice and slick. There is now no excuse whatsoever for a dry and unloved fretboard. Unlike Lemon Oil, because Axe Wax doesn't contain any acid, it won't soften glue. Dr Duck's is also great for cleaning and revitalising violin, viola and cello fingerboards.

Dr Duck's Axe Wax is recommended for treating a fresh set of strings. Axe Wax can prolong their life to almost as long as that of treated strings while retaining the natural tone of uncoated strings. Try it on strings that have started to go dead, or if they’ve gone squeaky - hearing is believing.e

You can also use Axe Wax to increase the efficiency of string contact points such as the bridge saddles, the nut or a Bigsby roller bar. Lube these points up with a small cloth or a Q-Tip and you’ll decrease the friction at these locations when the string moves. This is invaluable for players who use light strings, helping a Bigsby return to perfect pitch or for those who perform behind-the-nut bends on a Telecaster - Dr Duck's Axe Wax can benefit any guitar player.

Floyd Rose feel creaky? Fine tuners not turning like they should? Tuning keys sticking? Apply some Dr Ducks Axe Wax to these areas with a Q-Tip to increase their efficiency. Your Floyd will get its flutter back. This is a criminally overlooked aspect of proper guitar maintenance – how many players even stop to think about lubricating their tremolo posts? But due to its all-in-one nature, Ax Wax allows you to take care of this crucial step while you’re polishing your finish, conditioning your fretboard, cleaning your strings and buffing your metal bits.

There’s really nothing Axe Wax can’t do when it comes to cleaning or lubing your guitar. Dr Duck's Axe Wax and String Lube really does take the place of half a dozen different products, it’s inexpensive and most importantly - it works.
