Fringe Lunatic Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Like all wood species, Rosewood can vary in shade. The darker one may have been artificially colored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds stupid but a couple of weeks ago i rubbed some minerial oil on my new epip thunderbird and wow it looks great. it didnt take much though.

RaSTuS Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 One got more dye than the other, a lot of Epi's fretboards are dyed to look darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordnut02 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Could I use anything on the lighter 1 to darken it up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strat-o-steve Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Stewart MacDonald sells a dye used for dark colored woods. Look for it at www.stewmac.com . There is nothing wrong with the lighter fretboard, not all wood is the same color, density, etc. :) It will probably darken a lot as you play it more, and get greasy finger oils in the grain! LOL :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
