[poopsidoo]

Hey Wade, figured you were from SC with that name. I graduated from Wade Hampton High (Greenville) and to get to Greenville from here the route is Wade Hampton Blvd!!
I bought this guitar in original condition in 2012. did not notice it at all when I bought it. Have played it alot, guess Im the culpret--I did oil the board once in that time.

I appreciate all the info in this thread. I dont think its so bad that I need to work on it now... heck the guitars 55 years old--Ill probaby be playing a harp before this thing needs that kind of work.

I like the ebony boards, but have had some guilds that had a nice rosewood fingerboard.

Thanks for your help!
