string_man Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Hi, I am looking for products to apply to my neck and fretboard (both roasted maple) to get a look semi-glossy look like strandberg guitars for example. In the past I used tru oil for the neck and had good experiences with this. Would you also apply tru oil or a comparable product to the fretboard (roasted maple, too)?

Bizman62 Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Tru Oil and the likes work well on roasted wood, although I've only used it for Alder. On one body I used Osmocolor clear wax, on another I used Crimson Guitar Finishing Oil which apparently is quite similar to Tru Oil - which in turns is an old recipe similar to this: https://thewoodwhisperer.com/articles/make-your-own-oil-varnish-blend/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
