Couldn't have said it any better! YYS #49 here and my wife says she's never leaving... I too want a custom 5 (thinking a YYD 5 in Ebony and Alder or Ash body with a Birdseye Maple board and Dual Coils) so I agree with the whole gateway thing...

Peace,

T

Haha!!! I hear ya. My wife wouldn't let me have a Fodera so I divorced her. I don't suggest that path though... Haha

Off topic but I noticed you're in Carolina Beach. I was there on vacation this past summer. I've never played a Fodera but at least I was close to one!

I think this fingerboard oil discussion got lost on the last thread:

Ok, this makes some more sense to me. I think my local luthier didn't like the lemon oil stuff that gets used and likely overused.
I'll try some mineral oil on my board next time I change strings.
