The body looks pale, and maybe dry, compared to pictures I've seen of other Artfields. Maybe a dumb question, but should I use some oil on this guitar ? If so, what kind of oil is recommended ? Thanks for any help you can provide. This is my first guitar wihout a solid finish, so I could use some help. Regards, Morten, Norway.   Guitartim Username: Guitartim Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Thursday, May 04, 2006 - 11:17 am:    Morten, I used to own a Peavey Cirrus fretless with a natural Bubinga finish body and Pau Ferro fretboard. (Great sounding instrument!) It only needed a light sanding with '0000' grit sand paper if scratched. For final conditioning the wood however, I used lemon oil in small amounts. Made it look great...and smelled good too. Hope this helps. Tim   Mortotte Username: Mortotte Registered: 05-2006 Posted on Sunday, May 07, 2006 - 12:22 am:    Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try. Regards, Morten.
