[primeholy]

Do any of you use this oil to condition your board?

If so, when should I use it on my new 210 ce deluxe, and how often?

Primeholy,
I do mine at change of strings.

About how frequently do you change strings?

[DennisG]

I seem to recall Bob Taylor recommending that it be done once a year.  I apply boiled linseed oil to my fretboard the first time I change strings each new year.

I think that Bob said the ebony was so dense that it hardly absorbed anything so it wasn't necessary.

String change frequency depends on how you play - think of it as miles.  The more hours you play, the fewer days between string changes.  All depends on the hours your strings have on them and how they sound.  Aging strings will sound dull or dead.  Time to change them then.

I also oil my fretboard each string change - I use Dunlop 65 fretboard oil.

Just took my new (to me) 414ce to my Luthier for a set up -- he recommends a light oiling on a monthly basis,

This question of "whether to oil" has been covered a lot in past threads ...perhaps one should check it out and weigh for oneself.

I use Guitar Honey about once a year.  Just a light coat as needed.

To oil or not to oil.  That is a question that has been talked about several times here on UTGF.  Many feel it is completely unnecessary, many do it almost every time they change strings.  I have heard that Bob Taylor said it is not necessary, but then on Taylors own web site in the Care section promotes it. https://www.taylorguitars.com/support/maintenance/properly-cleaning-your-guitar .  Plus they sell fret board oil. https://www.taylorguitars.com/taylorware/guitar-care/fretboard-oil  So what do you do? Well I do it.  I like the way it brightens up the fretboard.  It turns the black ebony even darker and makes it less dry looking.  I take the ooo steel wool and after removing the old strings clean up the fretboard and frets, then apply the oil lemon oil(not sure of brand),then remove excess oil.

Once, or maybe twice, a year for me.  Using Gerlitz Guitar Honey currently.  A bottle normally lasts me about 10 years (at least the last one did!).

That's my M.O. also.
