Great answers and insights, thanks. The reason(s) it comes up is that I trades a couple of Les Pauls to a dealer who complained that the fretboards were very dry. I thought: "Maybe I should have been oiling the fretboards more often". Another time I was going to open mic night and opened a case...

If you play a lot or if you have more than one instrument ( don't we all ? ) how often do you do maintenance on your guitar(s) : changing strings, oiling the fretboard, wiping down the top, tuning the instrument, doing a setup, or loosening the strings if it is going to be in the case for a...
