I don't think I've ever seen a prettier rosewood fingerboard . . . is there some sort of a polishing attachment on your cordless drill/driver?
No... the little tool is a dedicated string winder. I just applied a bit of lemon oil polish. I do it to all of my guitars about once a year. But the fingerboard on this guitar is special.

I've got a few that look like that.
My favorite way to oil fretboards in to wipe on some oil, open a beer and drink some while the oil is being absorbed, apply some more oil, drink more beer, oil some more, drink some more, wipe excess oil off, finish beer, re-string!
Repeat for next guitar!

For 105 guitars? Let's see, how many beers would that be? :highly_amused:

You ought to make an instructional video...
Like you, I wipe off any excess oil after a while (or a beer). I guess I should add that before I apply oil, I use a bit of 0000 steel wool, mainly on the frets.
Dave, that is a really beautiful fretboard!

Brazilian RW does indeed make the prettiest fingerboards.
Party at Grot's! :drunk:
My Starfire 4 is a 2001, so it's almost certainly EIR. But it is purty.

Whoops, I saw the '67 in your sig, didn't note that it was a SF I. Very nice EIR.
Here's "Lorenzo" the '67 SF-1
I don't normally name my guitars, but the previous owner wrote "Lorenzo" on the label.

That has to be one of the nicest looking rosewood finger boards I've seen. Very nice, Dave.
How's the band doing?

That is some truly beautiful rosewood, Dave! Thanks for sharing that! :encouragement:
Scratch, we have to use the term "band" loosely, but we're having fun with it. Just a bunch of old farts making a lot of noise, for the most part.
