Phenolic Fingerboard Scratches

[blunderthumbs]

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.

I'd discuss it with Rob Green at Status first - if anybody knows he does..

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.

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)?

The photos make it look worse than it is. It is not a problem.

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.
