Pinch Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 I took for granted that the grenadillo in my 2017 was gonna look pretty much the same after its first oiling. Lighter-shade rosewood, right? I'd say too dry a rosewood! I usually oil my fretboards in the fall... September-ish. In an hour it'll be August 1 here, but I thought, what the hell, let's be done with it. It was not a minute too soon. The lighter shade rosewood now looks like well-hydrated regular rosewood. It looks like a different guitar! So if you're considering a guitar with a grenadillo board, my friendly advice is give it a drink the second you take it home. No pics right now unfortunately.

Pesh Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Quite often a case you can see a dark Granadillo that gets mistaken for a Rosewood, or a light Rosewood that gets mistaken for Granadillo, in my view. Oiling it will bring out so much richness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinch Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Dunlop 65 Ultimate Lemon Oil. I know opinions vary on mineral oil, but it's always worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
