I was changing the strings on my acoustic guitar this afternoon and I put a wee bit of Haws lemon oil on my fret board. I have been doing this for years as it was suggested to me my a guitar tech.
I have a Takamine with a solid cedar top, and Koa sides and back, matte finnish, and I was really tempted to give the whole guitar an oil...but then I stopped because I wasn't sure if this was a good idea.
Does anybody with a matte finnish guitar oil the body -front and back?...would it effect the sound?
I'm the kind of guy who leaves my guitars out in various rooms, so I have to take my pleasure with my pain with respect to guitars drying out (because of not having the appropriate amount of humidity). I hate keeping my guitars in cases, but I have paid the price. That's why I have the oil question.
cheers, and have a great day
