STA-1M 1st build total (k)noob

[soundguy4033]

Hey DB, just a suggestion, as stated I am a total noob to building/finishing, I have trawled the net for days and seen Tru oil finish as being very popular.
My suggestion, do a side by side with Dingo, Tru oil, Tung oil and a few other options, as a noob I dont know stuff, but I did see a Utoob vid with a plank of wood finished (very roughly) with various finished and Tru oil came out the best.
Id LOVE to see yours kik the various arses of the competition, show us your mojo!!
The questions I had/have is, how to finish the fretboard and the back of the neck, the body is kinda self explanatory, but the fretboard was my most important concern.

These have already been done in various forms.....DB will tell you that Tru-Oil has tiny fragments of glass in it to make is shine (or something like that).
