So folks, as some of you know, I have 3 rosewood necked guitars (2 513 RWs and a ME1).
I haven't treated them any differently from my other maple/mahogany necked guitars and they are always stored in their hardcase so they look and feel fine.
However I heard from a acquaintance that rosewood necks need to be oiled otherwise they tend to crack. Is this true? Also, if not entirely true, is there a different maintenance regimen I should be following for rosewood necks?
P.S: I live in the tropics but the guitars are in a lower humidity room
Thanks a lot
