kaicho8888 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Just a tip: Ok, it's a '67 oldie ES-345. I noticed that the fret markers(parallelogram)were higher than the rosewood; and everytime I try to do a bend, I could feel the markers snag under the finger. I've just ignore this for a couple of years; but I finally got my 1/4" triangular file and filed away the abalone markers flat against the rosewoood...did a little finger sanding...and then treated the rosewood with fret conditioner. Wow..nice looking and smooth finally. I'm glad I got off my butt to stop playing and finally filed/sanded fretboard. Someday, I might tackle the divots on the rosewood; or ignore it and label them character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
