Ok, so I ordered a Warmoth replacement neck for an old MIM Standard Strat that I had modded out. I posted another thread about that. Anyway, when I got the new neck, I decided to try and re-carve the other one. I didn't care for the C-shape profile and wanted more of a V. I had a copy of Vintage Guitar magazine with an article detailing how to do this so I went for it. I'm fairly happy with the result so far but now I've got to seal and/or finish it. The article suggested Danish Oil or Nitro lacquer but I haven't been able to find any Danish Oil at the local hardware store.

Any body ever tried this for themselves? If I were to go with the Nitro, is it a tough job? Any advice is welcome.

hi , it's a pity you don't live near me , i have half a gallon of danish oil , and i have to say it makes for a lovely guitar neck , i did the fretboard of my 89 mij std a while ago and i also oiled a neck i picked up with hideous varnish on it , it looks a million bucks for not a lot of work , you could also use tung oil if you can't source danish oil , cheers

Thanks for the reply alanssaab.

Do you live in the States? I'm just wondering where I might find Danish Oil or even Tung Oil. They don't have it in my local hardware store but there is a Lowe's about 30 minutes from my hometown.

Also, did you apply the Danish Oil with a brush or did you spray it?

hi , i don't live in the states , i live in scotland , you might have better luck at a larger store mate and danish oil is applied buy cloth , wipe on and leave to dry then apply againto build up a good few coats , cheers

Danish oil is fairly common. I'm sure Lowes has it, also, most hardware stores. People decide between danish oil and tung oil. My decision is danish oil. Cheers.

Yeah I called Lowes this morning and they said they had it. Appreciate the input.
