I was told that 2-3 times a year you should rub mineral oil or linseed oil or any one of the numerous fretboard products into your fretboard to keep it from drying out. I used mineral oil on mine,

So, not all Fender FSR basses are created 'equal' under the FSR banner.

(do a search on TB) I thought the price was going back up today but online at least, still the same.
