Will I play better when I oil the strings?

@jwandhistools Other than this random family, find a place that says it's a good idea. Just a google search reveals it is almost unanimously considered a bad idea. Food grade oil can spoil when in a bottle, I don't want material that can rot to be on my fretboard.

@jwandhistools Terrible idea. You may have gotten lucky but it is a food product. If it gets humid where you live you can get bacteria to grow, especially in deep grained wood.

Does the oil also take or makes the scratch marks on the neck come off?
-
Im not sure but ive read over & over again that when conditioning the fretboard the best is go with the grain of the wood `not being done here.Maybe it doesnt matter but its just what ive read to do when applying oil.

I do find it funny how Dan pours the oil onto his rag directly overtop of the Gibson's body at 0:22. Good thing it didn't spill!

Is this oil also a cleaner? I am going to buy some but I do not know if it cleans and if it doesnt clean what will naptha?

@azfryguy From Erick Coleman: “Our fretboard finishing oil is not a cleaner, your fretboard should be cleaned thoroughly before application. Naphtha can also be used as a cleaner before applying our fretboard finishing oil. But I most often use lemon oil to clean and condition fretboards."

@stewartmacdonald So Lemon oil then Stewmac finishing oil is your most common routine?

@azfryguy
From Erick Coleman: "I've got two different routines. On my own guitar I prefer an unfinished board, so I'll clean it with lemon oil, which leaves no finish build up but still conditions the board. For customers who prefer a finished board, my last step is fretboard finishing oil."
