Well, fuck, that's a bit of clearcoat.
Do you know what he's sprayed it with?
Yeah it will be either Amerthane or Caprithane. Both are 2k.
I would love to pull the frets and do it all properly but this has to go by Christmas.
It's all a big mess really. I'm so fucked
Stop typing. You should be scraping right now...through to about 2pm tomorrow non-stop.

I had hoped it might look like a Rickenbacker fretboard. But instead it looks like something from the National Maritime Museum.

You've been in some tough scrapes before, but this one's really going to go down to the wire.

If these get any worse he won't be using the razor on the guitar neck.

Yup, I may just scrape by.
This is going to be tedious but it looks doable

As a near-fanatical Rickenbacker player, I'd like to say WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, THAT FRETBOARD LOOKED VERY NICE INDEED

Those marks were there prior I noticed. It’s had a tough life.

Haha yes I should have mentioned, there were already a number of nicks and scrapes prior to my attack.
