    If you buff something to a gloss it is no longer dull the 2 adjectives are opposite. Its like calling someone a skinny fat boy. I'm aware of the phenomenon that playing a satin neck will buff it out but it still cant be dull and glossy at the same time.

      If any guitar company uses gunstock oil on their necks, it's most likely Tru-Oil
      Not really. Tru Oil might also be sold to be used on gunstocks.

      But in practice Tru Oil builds up a real finish and regular gunstock oil does not.

        By the way, tru-oil is *not* a hard finish. It will not prevent warping like poly or nitro etc.
        Are you thinking Tung Oil, because Birchwood Casey Tru Oil is a polymer.

          Tru Oil is a Polymerized oil:

          From Flexner's book: "It (polymerized oil) cures very fast and very hard and resists water and water-vapor penetration".

          Sounds like a great finish for a guitar neck.

            +1 for Tru Oil. I just finished a new Warmoth neck with 10 coats, used 400 grade steel wool between each coat and the finish feels as if it is bare wood. I am tempted to remove the Tung oil from the body and also finish that in Tru Oil but Id rather be playing if you know what I mean.
