HI what grade of steel wool do you use to polish the fretboard? It feel a bit rough, can I use clear stain to make it smoother?
Here is a pro tip for ya, Michael.
Use a Stanley knife blade as a cabinet scraper. You can get right up to the frets and it will leave your fingerboards noice and smooth
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
