Is this type of fretboard damage fixable?
(lemmy.world)
This is a Fender Eric Clapton Strat built in 1990 that I bought myself for my 30th birthday as it was the same age.
I played it a bit and this happened. Not sure if it was already damaged and I made it worse or if the old strings caused the damage. There was no noticable damage when I bought it.
Is this type of thing possible to fix? Or will it need a new neck?
Thank you! (First post on Lemmy!)
There’s very little you can do that won’t make it look worse. From personal experience, trying to fix something like that will cause more grief than just leaving it.
If you feel like learning the hard way though, a dab of superglue sanded down flush may make the chip less noticeable.
