I've had guitars for I donno, 20 years now. Only this week did I first ever oil one of the fretboard. Learned you should be doing it +/- every 6 months haha. I don't know about that. But it does bring out the color kinda nice.

Hope so, lemon juice is acidic and will strip the oil off/out of the wood. Probably still wouldn't use lemon oil either, just in the off chance it has some acidic properties left.

Thanks for the info. It’s just called lemon oil because of the smell, it’s a mineral oil, no actual lemons involved.
