"No it won't "it will look even worse with thousands of new scratches to cover the original ones.

 

That is your opinion! My work with phenolic fretboards since 1989 proves different. If you are talking about the scratches in the bottom picture those can be buffed out. Just like scratches on other material can be buffed out with care and the right tools.

Post pics.

I'm a full time tech and have done many refrets including SS on phenolic.

If you don't mind a glossed up fingerboard or all the fine scratches going across the fretboard (both look crap)

go ahead.

You may with care be able to use a very fine (1000 grit) paper and sand with the marks (look closely there are length ways sanding marks looking like grain and it is these you need to replicate to get a reasonable appearance back). good luck.
