Just a tip, Lemon Oil should not be used on a maple wood fretboard only on darker fretboards such as ebony or rosewood. Maple Fretboards are coated in a lacquer as a result the lemon oil will just sit on top of the fretboards and not absorb the lemon oil, it won't harm the guitar in anyway shape or form but just be a bit of a waste especially if you have a darker fretboard guitar somewhere else. A darker fretboard has no lacquer on it allowing it to absorb the oil keeping it nice and smooth ready to be played like a god.

True? I thought the idea WAS for it to sit on top so the notes could be bent with ease???

@@AustrasmrASMR its normally used to keep the wood healthy stop it from cracking and also helps to keep it clean. From experience I dont feel like the frets or the fretboard has any input on the bending of strings although cleaning or changing the strings would help that. Lemon oil is to help darker woods to stay healthy and clean as they a more porous that maplewood due to the lacquer. When cleaning maple fretboard I just use a little water and wipe it down a little it saves on money too if you clean them a lot
