G'day - Just about to start an AIB-1Q build. It's got a 1cm scratch on the ebony fretboard that looks like somebody has tried to repair with CA glue and left a glue ring. I gave it a bit of rub with 1200 sandpaper but it's dulled up the surface.
First question: Is it really ebony? Looks nothing like my Les Paul fretboard. It looks a bit artificial with a very smooth semigloss finish and no tooling marks.
Second question: How to finish the fretboard and bring back the shine.
