I use off the rack lem oil whenever I restring. I don't make a science out of it, but my wood likes it and I like the feel of a freshly oiled board.


I do the same.  Never had a problem.  Pull off the old strings, hit the frets with some 0000 steel wool, clean off the dust, then rub in a bit of lemon oil.  I've had the same bottle for about 20 years now.

I use a little lemon oil from time to time.

This guy called Robert Johnson was keen on the use of lemons too...

Yes, the rules are both hard and fast.   :o

Why not grab any lube that happens to be handy at the moment? And if it's one that happens to be well suited for various types of intercourse, surely it must also do wonders for your other woods.

This is all very adolescent, I must say, I can't condom it.  :-\
