After a considerable discount, I bought this fabulous sounding '59 Historic. The fretboard has dried out somewhat due to the store lights, the dark patch being shaded behind the store tag (hence the discount). I tried out two others from the same production run and man, this guitar sounds and plays incredible and I had to have it.
I stripped all the strings off and used some liberal lemon oil on the lighter sections, giving it a soaking for half an hour. Its definitely made a move in the right cosmetic direction, but can I ask is this going to fully darken over time? I feel nervous about this, despite the joy of playing it.
