Re: Oiling Rosewood for Dummies.
Finally, a good idea besides spit. I read that somewhere else, too.

I love this stuff!!!! It's every bit as good as lemon oil (better in my opinion) & there's absolutely no smell....

Re: Oiling Rosewood for Dummies.
I already have mineral oil, lemon oil, scratch cover. but i was wondering-someone said mineral oil goes rancid. Total BS, right? Not in our lifetimes.

Re: Oiling Rosewood for Dummies.
I haven't heard the dummiest question yet:
how to oil fretboard with strings on (very loose-enough to slide microfiber towel through-I cleaned it dry, then damp, then dry), but scared to get oil on strings. No, I don't have any strings, but it needed attn badly.
THERE'S the stupidest question.
OK, I believe correct post in correct place, and I would love any suggestions. Other than don't do it. :newbie:

Re: Oiling Rosewood for Dummies.
Doesn't bother me in the least. Just thought it was funny since you caught yourself doing the same thing yesterday or the day before. I just figure that your Doc must giving you some good RX's ...

Re: Oiling Rosewood for Dummies.
I used raw linseed oil on my '98 Fender American Std. Strat that's in my avatar. I first cleaned the fret board with soap & water. Then I applied ebony wood stain to give the FB an ebonized rosewood look. I did this a few times and let it soak over night. Then I brushed on raw linseed oil over the entire FB and let it sit overnight. I would wipe off the excess oil and re-apply another coat until the FB looked sealed. The results turned out very well and the FB looks and feels great.

Re: Oiling Rosewood for Dummies.
I use the grocery/hardware store varieties of lemon oil also. If the fretboard and frets are really dirty, I highly recommend Gorgomyte - http://www.fu-tone.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=84&products_id=223
