Together with my guys I made a Les Paul Custom replica from kit elements. As it happens, the guitar is pitch black, but its fingerboard is some kind of rosewood, and it annoys me terribly. The sound is OK, that's all, but it somehow differs from a completely black guitar, so I was thinking about repainting the fingerboard thinly with ebony stain, which is normally used for varnishing paneling and boat floors. I know it won't change the sound of the guitar as if it were ebony, but at least it will look nicer. I've seen many people change the color of the body of the guitar, "shave" the back of the neck, so I thought that maybe this kind of operation on the neck (or something like that) could not do much harm to the guitar. Has anyone ever had an idea like this? And how did you perform it? Thank you.
P.S. please don't throw stones at me now!
