Just wondered. I usually buff my bridges but not the fingerboards. But I've been thinking they might match up better if they were both buffed. Neil |

Absolutely. Sand up to 2000, then buff with medium. They look great! (Started this after seeing the great Jimmy Foster videos on youtube, & how his ebony just sparkled.... blew me away!) |

I sand up to 600 grit wet-or-dry then turn the sandpaper over and buff the board with the back of the sandpaper. Buffs up to a nice glow real quick. |
