Hi guys, I'm writing to you because I would like to have your opinion regarding a small "problem" that has arisen regarding my order for a Private Stock.
In April I sent to PRS the sheet through the dealer, so the order was placed.
After a while the PS department asked me (via dealer) if it would be okay "to make the neck in the same finish as the body, since we think the guitar would look more beautiful" (verbatim).
I agreed and they turned over the final sheet (which I'm attaching here below).

As you can see it says "Tone sides & Neck to match top/back color".
The doubt that has arisen is whether this mod concerns only the neck (therefore the back of the guitar, where the palm of the hand rests on) or this mod also concerns the fretboard and the headstock.
Since I literally hate colored fretboards/headstocks, I would like to avoid having the it painted in black-gold finish.
What I mean is that I love this:

I've already requested info at the Customer Service for over a month but I never received an answer. Also, the dealer has not received any responses from the PS department.
So, I'm here asking you:
1) Based on your interpretation of the sheet, can I exclude that the fretboard is colored?
2) Who can I contact inside the private stock for info? I read from the sheet that the responsible is Tina Sears, does anyone have an email?
