This is the guitar I'm working on: http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/sta...ar-guitar.html

The neck had some nasty clear coat on it which I sand off with 320. Then I went over good with 600 a little before using the Formby's Tung oil. After that I went up to 12000 grit sandpaper... I bought the Tung Oil at Lowes. It was 7 dollars I think. You need to buy steelwool to aply the Furniture refinisher, but the tung oil just needs a lint free rag. Old sock... make sure to read the direction 3-4 times. I taped up the fretboard and undid a coathanger to hang the neck up while it dried. Put it through the last tuner hole...
