I’ve had guitars for I donno, 20 years now. Only this week did I first ever oil one of the fretboard. Learned you should be doing it +/- every 6 months haha. I don’t know about that. But it does bring out the color kinda nice.

    I’ve got a 1991 Epi Pro US that I played daily until about 2010. In a cold winter the finish began to come off. The tremolo is done, the gears and hexagon holes are worn out, the neck pickup is shred down from the pick so the copper coils come out, but the neck and fretboard are perfectly ok. I’ve never oiled any fretboard. I don’t know anybody who does. I’ve never seen any fretboard oil at the guitar store where I bought most of my stuff for years and the first time I ever heard about fretboard oil was on reddit. I think it one of these useless things Americans love to get scared into buying.
