Hey everyone,
just got my first Gibson LP today, was trying it out, love the tone, the look, etc. .
BUT I noticed the fretboard was sort of dry, dirty and looked kinda faded.
Especially the color looks strange to me. I have never seen a fretboard this white/pinkish.
Having read about Gibson fretboard issues before I was wondering if you guys had similar issues with this exact model and if it can be resolved by putting lemon oil on the fretboard.
I am usually using lemon oil for my other guitars but atm I am not really keen on using it with this one as I am still in the 30d-return policy term.
Would like to hear your opinion, whether this could easily be resolved or if it's a good reason for returnig the guitar.
Thanks!
Btw. I added some pics including a comparison to my Epi LP
