Over a few years I can see my ebony fretboard and bridge look dry, especially in the dryness of winter at 20 - 30% lower humidity. I have humidpacks on all my acoustic guitars, but I am still a believer in applying Linseed Oil about every 2 years. I try diluting any excess oil with naptha to wipe it off the nitro finish.
My concern is if diluting the oil with turpentine also should be done. I have to say the oil gets the guitar a little messy, but not certain if I want to risk thinner going onto my the plastic pick guard, binding, or finish.
Usually not to many players in my area talk guitar tech, much less taking care of guitars.
Thought I would go to the experts to ask...
Thank you,
Craig
