I really wanna do this to the neck on my Strat (from a 25.5 Jagmaster, pale satin muthafukka), is it haaaaaaard? Presumably would need to sand off whatever thinass finish they have on there already?

I imagine sanding between the frets would be the hardest part.

It's a rosewood fretboard, don't think that'd need finishing? Or were you just JK Rowling ?

Razorblades are best friends to two types of people.
people wanting to refinish their guitar necks.
and tight pant emoez.
makes the job a whole lot easier. between frets too, it's good for rosewood even to clean gunk off
