Hi @Bizman62,really appreciate your super thorough answer, thanks . I think I will try the acetone solution, sounds like the “less invasive” approach and probably a good starting point. You’re right about that gunk, luckilly none got into my skin so far! Best. Alexander

Hi all, Just got a 1980 Fender “the strat” in pretty good shape. However, the neck is chipped along the edge with the fretboard. I am afraid of putting my hands in the guitar and potentially lowering its value. Would you leave it as it is? Sand + refinish (how?)? Or any other solution in the middle? . My main concern is to protect the wood of any further damage and potentially getting rid of the rough chipped feeling along the mast. Appreciate any input . Alexander
