So I bought some guitar today *FRETBOARD QUESTION ADDED*

Authentic relicing!

Sorry, just noticed I didn't really answer your question. Continued rubbing will only accentuate the effect. All it really is, is the string wear/finger oils/dirt wearing out the top layer of coating on the board as it is being played. I think its cool, tells me the guitar has been played and not wasting away somewhere. My advice, play and add more wear.

Ahh ok, just wanted to make sure I didn't leave excess oil on or anything. Can't wait to string it up again, it plays like a dream. Hopefully my bridge adjustment didn't change that.
