I have a MIA Fender P?

Your Fender is Missing In Action?

Seriously guys, most players have seen a few pieces of wood comparatively. I have handles thousands of pieces and if there is something wrong with the wood, it will not end up in a Smith Bass. Usually, it becomes firewood if defective.

I have 100% faith in your wisdom about woods. What I was afraid of was that I did something bad or failed to do something good to the fingerboard, causing those grains.

I have another question about wood combination but since it's off the topic I will open a new thread for discussioin.
