I've heard that oversprays were common on vintage Martin ukes when they went back to the factory. My beater 40's Style 0 has an overspray, including the fretboard, which has partially worn away at both ends, less so on the middle frets. Not sure if it was done at the factory, or just a previous owner. I've seen videos of folks removing the overspray from rosewood fretboard instruments, by carefully scraping with a vertical razor blade. Not sure if I'll try that someday. Just leaving it alone for now, since it feels and sounds fine, just looks a bit worn.
