blunderthumbs Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Need to sort these scratches on my Status Graphite neck. Was considering using 0000 grade wire wool then some Gerlitz no1 Carnauba wax. Has anyone got any advice before I possibly f..k it up and make things worse.

TheGreek Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I'd discuss it with Rob Green at Status first - if anybody knows he does.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlungerModerno Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 3rd that. Phenolic resin should buff out with polishing compound - Ask him what he'd recommend, and don't break out the wet/dry sandpaper till you get pro advice! Oh and if you do use wire wool or sandpaper - mask off the pickups & controls! that grit or especially conductive wire can cause issues.

HowieBass Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Slightly off topic here but is it just me or do those frets look like they'd benefit from a recrowning (assuming there's enough metal left)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I won't be attacking it until I know what the outcome may be. Will email Rob some pics to see what he recommends. As for the wire wool. The neck and all other hardware & controls are removed from my Status 3000 as I'm refinishing the body. Hence wanting to sort the scratches on the fingerboard. Cheers for the advice though.
