Unlike heavy polyurethane or gloss finishes, linseed oil penetrates deeply to protect the wood against moisture while retaining a silky, natural \"woody\" tactile feel. Because the finish goes on extremely thin, it allows the maple neck and rim to vibrate freely and \"breathe,\" producing a noticeably more open, full, and resonant tone.  The application of the linseed oil is a long process and requires time and patience. If they environment is humid, it can take months to cure this finish.  The results are worth it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eErgonomic Radius Fretboard:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed for the modern player seeking maximum speed and comfort.
