Does anyone know what's the 'secret ingredients' used to finish those nice musicman guitars and basses necks'? Will bees wax finish give the same result?
I love the feel of it, although it will be dirty looking after some time...
If anyone knows, please let me know... Thanks

Reason: added more Q's...
I think that they use True Oil, a blend of linseed oil and varnish that's used on gunstocks. It's not wax alone. If it's not True Oil it's something similar. I don't think there's any secret ingredient in it. That's marketing hype.
6 or 8 really light coats of Tru-Oil rubbed in with a soft cloth over a few days, cure for a week, rub down lightly with fine wire wool then rub in some beeswax or carnauba for a silky finish. (Thats my recommendation, I don't know if Musicman do this)
