Location: Churchville, NY USA | one of my electrics has developed a whitish discoloration on the rosewood fretboard in spots thats runs along the grain of the wood...
doesn't affect playability at all...is this normal and is there a remedy? |

Could be several things from some oxidation to treatment buildup. |
