    Yeah DB I know NR for me
    you'll learn quickly what NR is

    Cheers PK
    Actually no, PK
    I use my own secret Tung oil mix for fretboards and I have been known to use Shellac finishes on a few builds..
    As for Behlen Lemon oil, I honestly have never used it but I have only heard good things about it..
    Some time soon I will release DB's Supa Secret Fretboard Oil

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    classic looking Tele, Novice!
    Headstock looks like a cross between a Strat and a Tele, clever
