Want your fretboard to look dark or black?
Own a guitar with a rosewood fretboard but wish the fretboard could look dark or black instead?
Just send us your guitar and we'll get the fretboard to look dark or black.

Promotional Prices for May:
Fretboard (without binding) to look dark or black: $60
Fretboard (with binding) to look dark or black: $70
Fret polishing only: $20
Fret polishing + fretboard conditioning: $30

just a note to all not to fall for this venture. fretboard dye, even the stew-mac variants is simply dark leather (analine) dye and anyone looking to darken their fretboards can simply buy a bottle (<$10,lasts a lifetime) and do it themselves. simply take care to mask off areas other than the fretboard (explains his higher charge for guitars with binding) :roll:
that is if this guy is even using proper dye in the first place.
dyes tend to fade over time, more so in singapore weather and have a tendency to rub off onto your fingers as well.

caveat emptor.
