i heard someone say salami oil! look read the guys site. salami oil will turn rancid quickly and olive oil will as well after time. this will destroy your wood .
its not about looks . yea oiling your fret board looks good whatever. fret dr is about protecting your fretboard against time and nature .

You'll have to take this Salami stuff up with Neal Schon. I have no idea how his guitar smells or if the wood is rotting off it. Same with the folks who use olive oil. There are even people who use motor oil. Honestly I don't think it makes a lot of difference, nor have I *ever* heard of a fretboard rotting because the olive oil went rancid. Since this guy doesn't publish what's in fret doctor, you have NO clue what's in there (rare, exotic, natural, right...). You're just drinking his Kool-Aid and buying whatever advertising copy he's putting out. More power to you, I'm sure it's good stuff and it's your money. I think that if plain old mineral oil works (and has been recommended for years) there's not a whole lot of reason for me to pay the bucks for the new hot ticket just because some guy slps up a website and claims his stuff is the best since sliced...uh...salami <G>.
