has wood for you
an oiled neck is... well, an oiled neck. It's finished with some kind of oil, like tung oil, tru oil etc. This makes the necks "play" faster, since your hands don't stick to the finishing.

dude this is crazy. Im sorry i keep saying we'll jam and then not doing anything... ive been stupid busy pulling my shit together for berklee and putting a band together and whatnot. Maybe this weekend if youre around?
but you have to... "reoil" it every time you play the guitar? or every month? every year?
Not really, it hardens and solidifies just like a lacquer finish, kinda. Oil finishes will do good with a "refresh" every now and then, but we're talking years in between reapplications, if that.
For the record though, most all neck finishes should be refreshed after awhile as playing tends to degrade the playing surface. This can be either good (you'll understand if you've played a "vintage" guitar neck), or bad.
