I shouldn’t worry about it – did they give any reason?

@darrenking ‘s suggestion would make a higher quality repair if done well but it is a bit harder to pull off – you could try this first – you might surprise yourself!

Another option is to bind the ‘fretboard’ – I would do what @tv101 suggests first (fill it) and keep binding in reserve if not happy with the outcome.

I never want to see it that tidy again!

@robin maybe you have to be signed in or something? Not to worry – hope to see you there anyhow!
