Finishing Fretboards


Jon Bell

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've just obtained a guitar neck, the fretboard of which needs refinishing. The previous owner sanded away the finish on some of the board for "decoration".

I was wondering if there is a standard finish which is used on fretboards or if not what options there are.

Thanks,

Jon

That's the truth.. Leo was watching some British band on tv and noticed how terrible the necks looked because the lacquer was wearing off the maple necks and just for looks he started using rosewood on the fretboards. Just shows you that he's the same as any one of us, he wanted his guitars to look good just as much as play good.
