Best satin finish for a maple fretboard

Hello all,

I wanted to ask if anyone can tell me which finish to a maple fretboard will give that super fast smooth finish that feels like raw wood.

I noticed that some of the Fender Squiers have this type finish and I think its satin poly but not sure the best satin poly to use? miniwax?

Also I have used tung oil on the backs of maple necks and this gives such a great feel but I wanted to know if any one has used tru oil vs tung oil and what they felt was the best and fast feeling finish and the most durable too?

Any suggestions would be great.  :rock-on:

Thanks Slobrain
 
Wrong department.

Anyway, feel is extremely subjective. To me, nothing feels better or faster than a glossy neck. I'm probably in the minority when it comes to that, but that's what I'm used to and what feels best to me. But I think what would come closest to what you're describing is a standard satin finish that W offers.
