Excessive finish on fret board?

[bknightmusic]

Hey everyone! New to the forum and happy to be here!

I just received a Fullerton Deluxe Comanche from Musician’s Friend.
It looks like quite a bit of the poly finish has pooled up around the frets.
Is this normal?

Thanks, Craig. I reached out to MF yesterday and they offered a partial refund of $120. Obviously, none of this affects how the guitar plays. I just feel like, at $1700, the fretboard should look better than this. Also, this is the first maple fretboard I've owned so I wasn't sure if this was normal or not.

In my opinion, they did an earnest partial refund for this. Check out other manufactors with maple glossy necks, you might find simular appearances. Like you said, it does not affect how the guitar plays.

You should be able to scrape off the excess with a razor blade. If you google it you'll find various threads regarding heavy fretboard finish removal.
