Also far from expert at finishing, but I've used oil finish as simple touch-up on various items, if not better-quality instruments. My understanding here is that the oil will not and, preferably, should not combine with the pre-existing lacquer, but simply soak in as & where needed to protect the wood from dirt, sweat, humidity, etc., while wiping off the top of any surrounding lacquer without changing or adding to it. Or I could be way off base...
