there are so many oil and oil-like finishes around here, I've los track. danish oil, tung, tru, linseed... can't make heads or tails out of it.
I have a rosewood bodyback and a purpleheart top in order, and I want at least some protection for my guitar. I want it to give it a warm sheen, but I want it to be able to finish it myself. I don't like the idea of having to smear it on every year for the rest of my life (I'm 22) but if it has to be done for the next 10 years, and after that, its done, its fine by me.
also, I want a rub-on finish. I can't do it with a spraybooth, since I dont have one. nitro wont stick to rosewood, and its a shame to cover up the woods with a huge layer of PU.
is danish oil the best option?
