Rosewood fretboard?
What do you guys use on your rosewood fretboards to make them smooth? (Oil of some type I assume) also could you post all the needed tools and and steps please?

I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

Can these be bought at hardware stores or musical stores? After I apply the oil to the neck, I rub it around a little and wait till it dries up and do I have to do anything after?
And how do you use the steel wool on the frets?

Buy the finest steel wool you can find, and then gently polish the frets until they are nice and shiny (only the frets, avoid the fretboard).
Dunlop ´65 can be bought in most music stores. Spray on the fretboard, let it soak for a while and then wipe off any excess oil. Then let the guitar dry for a day or at least a couple of hours.

Olive oil will do the trick too.

Home Depot has .0000 fine steel wool and is super cheap. I recommend using the steel wool on the frets every other time you do a string change. It keeps 'em in tip-top shape and smooth as silk.
