restore shine to scalloped fretboard


I just scalloped the neck on my first guitar from many years ago, I wanted to make it more unique so I scalloped the neck and gave the body a burnt finish stained very dark red. Now my problem is that the parts of the fretboard I didn't scallop are much better looking. The scalloped parts are darker and I want to know what I should use to restore the sheen the original fretboard had? thanks in advance!

Re: restore shine to scalloped fretboard


Sand the scallops up to about 400 grit (sandpaper) or so and add some bore oil (or some other fretboard oil).
