I'm an idiot, how do I fix this? *All fixed now!*

Na, it's scratches, I scrubbed it with a green scouring cloth, you can see near the fret where it isn't scratched as the cloth didn't contact the wood there.

Scratches are running left to right, grain is top to bottom in that photo.

What kind of soap did you use?

I'm planning to drop by my mate's flat on the weekend to try his new guitar cleaning technique.

I know in stupid, but I wasn't that bad haha.

I had heaps to do today so naturally I played guitar went and rode dirt bikes and then spent a few hours trying to clean this up. I think it has come up well.

Steel wool, then naptha, then some oil and the fret board looks good



Gave the pickup covers a bit of a polish too



Tried to get this staining out but car swirl remover didn't shift it, I'm not too fussed



Back of the head stock just because

As good as a bought one
That ebony looks amazing being so black. Do all ebony boards look the same? Do they dye or stain it in manufacturing?

Oh and the colour stain in the back you could just twink over. You'd need one of the old bottles with the brush; that new "correction tape" stuff isn't as versatile.
