Fret Board Conditioning.

[HowlinDog]

This Stratish Caster was a cheap Kijiji guitar to practice tech on. It turned our really good and the only cost was paint and time.
The one thing i didnt do at the time was seal the fret board. So today was new strings and a clean up of the neck.
About three coats of mineral oil and it looks night and day different. The strings my kids got me for my birthday. I am well pleased with the results!
