    Hey guys,

    How do you guys go about bringing your rosewood necks to a darker colour? My neck is a little lighter in shade than I'd like it to be.

    Does lemon oil do the trick?

    Linseed oil will make the rosewood darker. Lemon oil will too, but probably not make it as dark. Love to see how the homemade pickups go!

    Sweet as, thanks @Andyxlh!

    Did you have any recommendations on what brand of linseed oil to use? Or would the Diggers boiled linseed oil from the big green shed be suitable? https://www.bunnings.com.au/diggers-...d-oil_p1670039
