Do you oil your fretboard?
I used to oil my old guitar because I was told I should.
Then I stopped playing for 10 years, and over the summer gave it to my niece when she expressed interest in learning to play. It seemed fine having not been oiled, and sitting in a corner for a decade.
So.. last night was noticing some fading under some of the strings of my uke, and was thinking... I should get some oil. But then it occurred to me today that the guitar didn't seem to care.
Is it really necessary, or is it snake oil (ie just cosmetic)?
