I really wanna do this to the neck on my Strat (from a 25.5 Jagmaster, pale satin muthafukka), is it haaaaaaard? Presumably would need to sand off whatever thinass finish they have on there already?

I imagine sanding between the frets would be the hardest part.

It's a rosewood fretboard, don't think that'd need finishing? Or were you just JK Rowling?

Razorblades are best friends to two types of people.

people wanting to refinish their guitar necks.

and tight pant emoez.


makes the job a whole lot easier. between frets too, it's good for rosewood even to clean gunk off
