Has anyone tried this?
I like more of a satin finish on a neck, so I sand to 1200, then a couple of light coats of Tru-oil. On the Telemaster build I did a light stain before the two/three coats of tru-oil. After the tru-oil cures I go back with 1200 to clear any "wipe" marks, then do a light rub back with 2000 to give it that silky feel.
