So I got this neck for a little toy project (oil can guitar) for 23 bucks, but the fretboard does look suspiciously artificial. It's supposed to be palisander but I don't think so. I tried to sand it lightly but the "rippled look" remains, so these are not machine marks, it looks like wood fibers pressed or "printed" in layers. What do you guys think?
Not sure if I should do anything with it? I heard it has a tendency to have fibers break out, so some people seal it.
I thought I might just tru oil it together with the rest of the neck, can't hurt, right?
Thanks! :-)
