Thread: Scratches on fretboard.

  1. #1

    Scratches on fretboard.

    The fretboard on my sg jr is lovely and smooth but on the 12 and 13 frets are some scratch marks which don't look nice.
    What can I do about it?

    I have a 7mm piece of plywood which I have cut out a 12" radius along one edge. I then put double sided tape along the radius and then cut a strip of 240 grit, starting there, I then sand up the grades to about 1200 grit in between the frets.

    Simon asks a good question...

    If they're deep, sanding might not be the best solution. Taking down the fretboard too far on two frets presents its own set of problems.

    Filling may be a better option.

    So how do I find it on tapatalk?
    I also tried logging in to the forum on my mobile but for some reason it doesn't like my name or password. Strange.
