Ebony Fretboard Dye

Anyone try their luck with ebony fretboard dye here? I was looking at this due to highly positive reviews. Black Fingerboard Stain at Stewart-MacDonald

Just wondering if you guys have used it or a comparable product. What were your results? Pics if possible.

Do you think it could be used to cover undesirable inlays if it was left over top of the inlays for an extended amount of time? Thanks for the input guys!

A couple people on here have done this on rosewood boards. It works well and looks cool. It will not however cover inlays.

Awesome. I'm looking at buying some for the soon to be shipped LTD SC607 that I put money down on at DCGL. I just was looking for a way to cover up that scribble inlay they put on the fretboard at the 12th position. Still gonna dye it ebony regardless. Any suggestions about the inlay though?

Just seeing what else was out there on the opinion of the inlay. But, the big issue was the effectiveness of the dye. Which is apparently pretty great from all I've read.

If that damn inlay bothers me when I get it, I will find a way

i would never buy one for that reason alone, but if i HAD to play one, it would be removed on concealed one way or another...


the thing that's annoying about it is that the ESP version has a blank ebony board, with a small signature on the headstock... and a much heftier price tag .

Exactly. And the whole SC line is offered in nothing but black this year. So lame. Someone over at the ESP board suggested maybe attempting to cut out the inlay best as possible, filling the spot with a wood filler, then dying everything at once. I dunno how that would look though. I don't think it would come out too good. What do you think?

soldierkahn removed and filled dot inlays, and dyed his fretboard...

i personally don't think it came out too good. but, that could be due to the dark, blurry pics though .


soldierkahn, any more recent pics of this guitar?

WOW! Thanks for that link! I think it turned out pretty nice! I didn't think anyone was crazy like me to attempt removing inlays. That's a big help. Due to the fucked up shape of the scribble on the fretboard, it's definitely going to take some work. I may see if my luthier will be able to do it. Just in fear of screwing it up beyond repair.
