I recently picked up a used Les Paul Studio LT in walnut. This is the guitar I first asked about in the classified section a couple weeks ago. It was actually in surprisingly good shape over all. It appears to be a 2021 according to the serial never, so it’s not especially old. It’s definitely a cheap guitar. But I wanted it for a project so I’m looking forward to getting it fixed up nice.
The only major problem area so far is the laurel fretboard. It’s possibly the driest and roughest fretboard I’ve ever seen. I used some fretboard oil to clean and lubricate it. But it’s still pretty rough. Not smooth at all. My Squiers have much smoother laurel fretboards in comparison.
So I’m just wandering what I can do to improve it. Or if it’s even worth doing. I know very little about fretboard maintainable sadly. So any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
