Location: Sunshine State, Australia | Dave, do you know what's involved in getting a neck 'glossed'? Do the frets have to come off? |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Don't know about glossing a maple fretboard, sorry. Normally people pay big money for "relics" where the gloss is all worn off. Go figger. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I've just sprayed the whole thing and then sanded to finish off the frets when I did the fret work. Lacquer doesn't stick all that well to metal anyway. |
