My old acoustic has deep ruts in the fingerboard. If you had the strings off, you couldn't tell. What's the use of cosmetic relicing where you can't see it. You relic a maple-neck Fender so your neck can look like the neck of Brownie on the back cover of <i>Layla</i>. The effect on a rosewood neck is much less visual.
