Triple Jim said:Tru-Oil is really an oil based varnish, so my vote would be on something more like Watco oil (Danish).
DuckBaloo said:Fender Custom Shop and Musikraft use danish oil as their "aged oil" on necks, it's so that would be a solid bet. But, Watco danish oil is also a varnish that dries into a hard satin.
John Suhr has recommended Emmet's Good Stuff for people who have necks that need to be sealed and still want a "raw" feel to the wood, but it's not something anyone would advertise as a oil finish, it's a wipe-on stain urethane.

Both Tung oil, Tru-oil, in addition to boiled linseed oil and Danish oil etc are possibilities for an oil finish body.

Danish oil is an interesting possibility I’ll have to look into. I only called it “natural” because that’s what they call it on their website; “natural oiled finish”. If it was a neck I’d just use tung or linseed but I’d never felt a body finished in oil like that before so I was very intrigued by it.

On Suhr's website it says what I mentioned earlier. Natural Body Color, finished in oil, which is different than saying a "natural oiled finish". It is in all likelihood an oil based finish such as Danish oil rather than a natural oil.
