marco mancini Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Hello there American brothers , since i wanted to buy a Stratoaster i ended up buying a "cheap " player series which sounds really good the only soft point is the colour of the keyboards which is too light compared to rosewood , isn't there a product which can darken irreversibly the pau ferro wood ? cheers https://ibb.co/VQq4JJ9 Edited June 18, 2023 by marco mancini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I think it looks fine in that photo. Hydrating with a fret board conditioner (Nomad F1 Oil or anything made for this purpose) will give a darker appearance. Honestly thats about as far as I'd take it. Do that maybe twice a year?

kidblast Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) I've never seen that product, but after watching the video, hard no. While others may have a different opinion, but I'd not be doing that to any of my necks. I'd also not be pouring Naphtha on the fret board as he did. It's a great cleaner, but moderation! Wet a rag or paper towel then apply it. You don't want that stuff seeping in between the frets and interfering with any glue that is in those fret slots. over all tho, for darkening a FB, I'd go with something a little less invasive, like some fret board conditioner. just my 2 cents Edited June 29, 2023 by kidblast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco mancini Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 well you are right pouring naphta never ever ! but i believe that this is the only product that could darken a pau ferro keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 you may be right but not something I'd worry about, I don't mind a lighter fretboard anyway. I rarely see it when I'm playing it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
