As I've gotten to know my 2011 F-30RCE, I kept wondering about the rosewood fretboard and bridge - had they ever been treated with anything? I came across this thread, where there was a bit of discussion whether NH treated their guitar's rosewood:

The fretboard and bridge of this guitar seemed very "light colored" and "dry" to me, but I have been too busy playing it to think much about it until yesterday. Anyway, I gave the fretboard and bridge a light treatment of "Guitar Honey". I suddenly have a different looking guitar! The fretboard feels much nicer, too. I like the results!
I wish I had taken specific photos before treating the fretboard, but here's one that shows the board a little bit and definitely shows the "lightness" of the bridge:

And here is the same "pose" in a photo after - quite a difference!

Anyway, it makes one wonder if NH treated their rosewood fretboards and bridges at all - at least on this model.
