Return Epiphone Casino Elitist because of cosmetics ?

There is no satin finish on an Elitist Casino fingerboard.

 

As mentioned, try a fretboard treatment product like "Guitar Honey" first. If that doesn't do the trick, 0000 steel wool will uniformly clean the board & almost certainly remove the marks - but you seriously do need to protect the pickups!

 

Personally, I'd use Guitar Honey & leave it at that. Those scratches are nothing compared to tone & playability issues. When I purchased my Elitist Casino, I had three to choose from. I took the one with a slight headstock finish flaw because for some reason it's tone blew away the other two. Absolutely no regrets.

 

Congrats on your new Casino - enjoy!

 

I stand corrected. My comment on the sealed fingerboards was based on observations of a number Epi's. Glad to hear the Casino has a natural fingerboard; oiling should help.
