slay Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 hey everybody. On my schecter i lightly sanded my frets with a very fine sanding sponge. I then applied dunlop lemon oil to it twice. It looks healthy and dark but the problem is the fretboard doesn't have that nice feel to it anymore. My fingers dont slide on the fretboard like they used to. What i mean is before i sanded the fretboard it was like it had some sort of finish on it(wax maybe?) that made my fingers slide really easy on it. Now my fingers get kind of get stuck on it. I know i should have probably used steel wool but i have used the same sanding sponge on other rosewood fretboards and i didn't even have to apply oil to them after in order for my fingers to slide easily across the board. any tips/solutions greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slay Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 ok i think it is because the wood is still alittle damp from the oiling. I think i went alittle overboard with the oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wood is good Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Or you just have smaller frets on that neck, and your fingers are just dragging more. Or that + too much oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
