Can anyway point me to a UK website with the Gotoh bridge that Roman talks about in nickel? Rather than a US site? Cheers.

Yes, but which bridge is it he is talking about? I can't seem to find it on any UK site.

I just tried the fingerboard scrape project. What was unclear to me, is what angle the razor should be. Is it "shaving" (like you'd chisel wood or shovel snow) or is it "dragging" (like you'd sweep with a broom or paint with a brush)? I started shaving but switched to dragging.

Anyways, it didn't seem to get any white gunk out of my 2008 MIC Epi LP Std, even though I see a bit in some of the wood grain. Maybe it's all off the top surface already? Also, I could see how this would level out the trapezoid inlays but mine were pretty good to begin with.

So I'm just wondering if I did it right.

I'm pretty sure he just scraped it with the blade perpendicular to the neck surface. You risk gouging your fingerboard if you angle the blade. You may just need to do it a little more to get through all the polish. Let us know how it turns out!
