Fretboard oil

[Guitar Cowboy]

I oiled my 816 when I first got it , following the directions in Taylor's string change spec sheet for the first couple string changes  I haven't done it for the last several string changes over the last 18 months and the strings still get dirty looking very quickly. I have never oiled the fret board on my K26 and don't have that problem with the stings getting  dirty spots from my fingers picking up the oil from the fret board.

I have moved to the camp that says oiling a freeboard is unnecessary.

I do it once or twice a year, and I rub the fretboard with 0000 steel wool with each string change. I used to use boiled linseed oil, but I switched to mineral oil with much better results  (cleans and lubricates). I recently purchased Taylor's fretboard oil - easy to use, but I think I still prefer mineral oil.

I do a clean and oil with Dunlop 65 Lemon oil about every 6 months when a string change is needed. I use Elixirs and have 4 guitars so I don't change strings a lot. Does it improve anything? Don't know but it makes me feel good.

I have a bottle of Music Nomad MN105 F-ONE Fretboard Oil Cleaner and Conditioner on the way.

Me too
