Thanks so much stratamania. That is going to be very informative. Keep em' coming.

Thanks man. I think I'm going to skip the tampon and use your technique as it resembles more a brush, and in my head makes more sense for a finish, and sounds like it does a better applyment. I'm going for a satin finish.

Neck wood: Maple. Plain beautiful unfinished maple. No dying it. It would be desecration. Plan on holding the neck on a blank slate of wood so the frets make contact with it. So fretboard side first padding it with plenty of rags, then flip it. I don't have the tools to hold the neck but it got...

Thanks Stratamania. Does this thread talks about the use of such products on the body or maple neck? I'm trying to maintain this thread maple neck only because there's not much informed information out there about how to apply it to maple necks. So it leads to confusion. Because the posts...

Hey Byron, sounds good. Thanks for sharing. Applying 1000 grit at the end of the process is alluring. Lots of different methods and ways of applying it. Any day now the materials come in the mail and I must make a choice and stick to it. All of these posts helped me make an informed choice...

Those are beautiful guitar finishes. And the neck looks like a really good job. Thanks for sharing your method and the pics! For the neck I didn't buy the filler. What I'm starting to see in the use of Tru-Oil and Wax, is that is very forgiving, and if you know the basics of how Oils works on...

Thanks for clarifying Strat Avenger.

lol got it. Might try it soon with a cheap neck (to practice) and see how it comes out. If it feels like too much I'll "fix it" and that way I'll keep practicing. I'm used to playing necks with like poly finishes that "lock up" your hand in that playing box so I can play and bend the strings...

I'm placing in the steps (Both the back and the fretboard of the neck?) bc I have seen and read so many wild ways of doing this job. Also from what I understand from your method you're using 3 or 4 coats before you start the sanding and burnish process. So only 3 or 4 coats of Tru-Oil.

Thanks, this really interests me bc I want a satin slip n' slide finish. This is my first time applying a finish, so please bare with me. If I understand well: Steps: 1 - Sand neck lightly with none higher than 400 grit. (Both the back and the fretboard of the neck?) 2 - Apply 3 or 4 coats...

Thanks. Any other methods welcome.

Makes sense. Any trouble drilling the mounting pin holes of the tuners after applying this oil?

Thanks for sharing. Yeah this thread is strictly for necks please. Too much confusion about this topic on the net. How much do you wait between applying coats? Do you clean "the excess" of oil after applying the coats? Do you clean the neck with lighter fluid before starting to apply the...

Just like anyone getting ready to apply Birchwood Tru-Oil and Birchwood Casey Gun Stock Wax to my new Warmoth maple guitar neck I plunged into the internet to find informed ways to do it. (Yes I know it voids the warranty). Literally every list of steps, every guide on how to apply these I have...

Nah a dive bomb it's fine. Shake it like a Polaroid picture.
