Factory Fretboard burnishing

[JD0x0]

I think it'd be a nice option to be able to get your fretboard burnished at the factory, before the frets are installed, for necks that will not be finished. 'Burnishing' should be a finishing option, IMO.

Burnishing is a finishing option.
But not a factory finishing option. :laughing7:

Maybe you should give 'em a call and apply for the position.

I seriously doubt that Warmoth has time for that.

I'm sure they could make time for the right amount of money, but would anyone buy it at that rate?

They could always sell a 5-pack of different grits of sandpaper as a DIY kit.

Especially when there is a retired geezer in MI who has reasonable rates.  ccasion14:

Lot's of manufacturers could do things we request, but could they do it at a rate that the market can reasonably accommodate?

Or

Could the consumer pay what it would actually cost the manufacturer with a slight markup added as a profit margin?

Not likely.  That's why often the simple answer is "no".
