I have been slowly applying tung oil to an all maple neck. Does tung oil really work as a fingerboard finish? I worry somewhat about string contact quickly removing the finish and resulting in dirty fingerboard syndrome. Don't have problems with this on a 5-10 year old guitar that has had hell played out of it but it is not what I am looking for after a couple of months of playing with a body that shows no signs of wear.
As a follow on question can you apply nitro lacquer over a tung oil finish? Are tung oil and nitro compatible? Any issues with the lacquer failing to bond or adhere to the tung oil?
