I’ve had guitars for I donno, 20 years now. Only this week did I first ever oil one of the fretboard. Learned you should be doing it +/- every 6 months haha. I don’t know about that. But it does bring out the color kinda nice.

      Hope so, lemon juice is acidic and will strip the oil off/out of the wood. Probably still wouldn’t use lemon oil either, just in the off chance it has some acidic properties left.

        Thanks for the info. It’s just called lemon oil because of the smell, it’s a mineral oil, no actual lemons involved.

      Unfortunately I meant lemon juice, I saw a video once that said that if you don’t have oil you can use lemon juice, and it kinda worked well for me somehow, however after reading your replies I just searched and it seems that using lemon juice is really not a thing.

      Thank you for calling this to my attention as I will stop using lemon juice.
