The rosewood fretboard on my PBG tele has a "dry" look to it - it's been that way right from the start (12 months old now), and a few applications of lemon oil haven't seemed to make much difference. Should I be applying something else to the fretboard to give it a darker more consistent finish? Or should I be more generous with the lemon oil?
I've used tru-oil on the rest of the neck and body so that would be an easy thing to do but not sure if that's best option.
You can see on this picture the difference between the bits of the fretboard that regularly come into contact with my hands and fingers, and the bits that don't - the later are dry, the former are closer to what I would expect from rosewood.
