Hi Everyone,
Just recently picked up a 2008 Hollowbody 1, and needless to say, I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far. If I could change anything, though, I think I would like the rosewood on the fretboard to be a bit darker to match the aesthetics of the blue finish.
I've read a lot about people using different stains to darken rosewood fretboards, but I was curious if PRS has a recommended brand that they use to stain rosewood (i.e. something beyond a simple lemon oil treatment). I ask because my 2015 Custom 24 has a significantly darker fretboard, and I'm curious if this is because it has been stained.
Any advice here? Has anyone done this to any of their guitars before. Thanks in advance!
