My new best tool for cleaning up glue and scratches or whatever between frets is the back of a well sharpened chisel, I draw it toward me like a little scraper. I get right up to the fret, and the scraping action is much cleaner than sandpaper.

Back of the chisel - what a great tool.

The backs and sides will look like the fretboard when finished. I think it will look nice.

Dave, are you certain these are guitars? They look like hanging bird nests to me but I don't know of a charities species of bird. I see a ladder that goes down to the nest opening.

Ken, you should have kept tighter reins on this project (lol).
