Cleaned the strings. Busted out the lemon oil and a microfiber cloth. Fretboard is rosewood. Been at least a year since I've oiled her up. Look at her now.

Question now is: how often should I do this again? She's kept indoors, IDK how humid/vochtig it is in the building (no hygrometer here, gotta an old-timey thermostat).

Valerie's still gorgeous.

"Oiled-up Valerie" is a great band name.
