I am making my first maple fretboard guitar. Understandably, I want to apply finish on it! I use polyurethane finishes. I usually fret my boards after they are finished and buffed. How do I approach this? Thanks!!! |

Fret it first, then scrape the frets afterwards. |

I've done it both ways. I like finishing it after fretting better. |

Can I ask you why Chris? |

Sometimes the lacquer chipped when fretting afterwards. It was just easier to scrape a little lacquer from the fret tops every few coats. Had to do a fret level anyway on refrets or new builds, easy enough to handle the finish then. |
