So far I've not used any finish on mine. Usually just buff them and maybe put a coat of fingerboard oil on it. Thanks, Phillip |

Hi Phillip, I just sand thru the grits to 220, then buff on the wheel with fine and extra-fine...I don't like for my bridges to look plastic... |

Sand to 320 - same as the fretboard. I like for them to look the same in terms of sheen. Chuck |
