DrummerDude Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi guys, I'd like to know if there is a way to stain a heavily oiled fretboard using a water-based stain. It is a rosewood fretboard and it has been recently oiled with linseed/lemon oil. I want to make it look like it was an ebony fretboard, i.e., I wanna make it black. Thanks!

killemall8 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Ooops, please move it to the "Inlays and Finishing Chat". if you want to stain it, you will have to wipe the fretboard down with laquer thinner and remover all the residue, then you can stain it. but besides that, it will not take a stain.
