    Tony, I've likely got this wrong - are you suggesting using those finishes on the entire neck including fretboard or neck EXCEPT fretboard. If the latter, what about the maple fretboard - Dr Duck, lemon oil, ???.

    The full finish is on a maple necks with maple fretboard only, the lemon oil etc is for rosewood fretboards these you dont finish but i know some who have.

    I know some people who keep their maple boards without any finish, but they end up looking very dirty and very sad very quickly.

    I just disposed of (correctly) all my Tru Oil large and small bottle, it was getting on in age so i wont bother trying to use it, i am going for a wipe on poly this time, then i might see how the Dingo Beta stuff goes on a project i am about to start after he releases it.

    I could just go and arc up my mates guitar spray booth, but i have a thing for hand finished guitars these days.

    So on my tele kit (arrives tomorrow) which has all maple neck/fb, would it be okay to do Tru Oil on neck and fretboard? What about staining/dyeing the fretboard?
