Hey guys! I figured I'd post this here because it's handling of wood, and since luthiers are here it'd be cool to see their take on this.
I was playing on my JP12 today, and I noticed these hairline "things" for a lack of better word, in the Ebony Fretboard.
Now is this something I should worry about and how should I treat it? When I looked at my JPXI fretboard there were none of these things on the fretboard, so I can only assume it's something that happened. I keep both guitars in the exact same place at room temperature.
But yes it seems worrying that one guitar has them and one doesn't, some look like they're cracks which freaked me out at first by they're not. Are they early signs of what could happen?
That last picture was the most concerning one of all, as I don't mind a bit of grain but those long ones look scary![lol :lol: :lol:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/laugh.gif)
Mods, sorry if this is in the wrong area. Didn't know where else to put it.
