Guys?

Location: Upper Left USA | xbj's talking fretboards. I think you are talking the finish. I got one from Mother not long ago. All they had was Sunburst.
You could strip and redo if you really needed to.
Don't let the stripper touch the binding1
(here it comes now) :rolleyes: |

You may have to leave 1/4" strip and then hand sand up to it.
The better chem stripper for Poly-saturated finish is the Aircraft Stripper found in auto parts stores. About $30+ a gallon.
Melts in your mind and not in your hands! It will strip the Ovation logo as well. |
