low end fuzz Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 lemon oil; you dont want to build a finish, you just want it to be 'moist'(?) you only want to finish maple boards, and that should be a laquar (for dirty fingers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanb Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 No lemon oil. Use Bore Oil. On maple you need lacquer or poly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanKirk Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I agree with low end buzz. Lacquer or poly on maple. Lemon oil to keep a rosewood fretboard conditioned (not a finish, per se) I wouldn't recommend an oil finish for the fretboard but the back of the neck I love the feel of Formby's tung oil. Tru-oil is a little too sticky for me on the back of the neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
