No experience with these.
I’ve used Keda wood dyes (eBay) for a kit guitar. Results were very good. A powder that you can mix to your required colour. It’s water or spirit soluble.
I’ve used Crimson’s stunning shots.
First pic is a kit guitar that I stained with Keda dyes (water based).
Second pic is a test piece for a custom build that I will hopefully be staining later in the year.
Angelus leather dyes are also very effective. See Big D Guitars on you tube.

Dude, nice job!
I thought I would give this a try on a piece of scrap rosewood.
Please keep in mind, this is not a service offered through the PTC, this was done simply for my general curiosity.

Nice one Shawn!
Now that’s what I call going the extra mile!
I did this for selfish reasons. I'm adding some artwork to an old Martin I have and I thought it would look better with a really dark fretboard.

You talking about the “eastern” decorated one?
Fiebings dye@Shawn@PRS just curious. What type of stain did you use? Water based (like the india ink) or the feibings leather dye?
Yes. Adding some new artwork to the top and I think the black board will look good with the over vibe.

I think it looks great as is!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!
Here is a picture of the new hollowbody:

@Shawn@PRS did you ever go through with dying the Martin fretboard? If so, how'd it turn out?
Considering giving my PRS silver sky a light coat of fretboard dye I got from Stewmack. I used it on a Fender AVRI neck and it come out beautifully. Wipes right off the inlays, hopefully it wipes right off the birds
Shawn! I beg to differ! It's been scientifically proven that blue guitars sound better. My friend, Phil, told me so.Black guitars sound the best, but this will be a close second.
