You can get away with just a couple of coats on Maple. Mahogany seems to soak it up so I think it needs a minimum of 5 coats.
The feel of a Tru-Oiled neck is very slick compared to Nitro. It's not really an oil as such, it's more like a rubbing varnish.

Dead easy!!
Tru-Oil won't fill all the grain in mahogany unless you wet sand with 1000 grade abrasive paper and allow some of the resulting slurry to fill the pores.
If you want to keep it easy just wipe on, leave 5 minutes and buff off. Rinse and repeat. It only takes a lot of time if you are trying to build it up

Thanks for the info....so a Les Paul with an oiled neck isn't an impossibility then?!
I wouldn't recommend oiled mahogany for a world tour, as it will often be more affected by environmental fluctuations.

used to be specialist gun shops only for tru-oil. Now you will find it all over the place. Google is your friend
if you buff the oil off a few minutes after applying you won't need to worry about build up on the frets
