coloring the neck

[Crzywhiteboy]

would it be ok to spray pain the back of my neck to another color,would it still the same when playing as in how smooth my hand moves on it.

And would it be also ok to do the same to the frets?

i think it's ok to paint your neck, but i'm not sure about the fretboard. if you want the board to be darker in colour, there's a tutorial to dye the board in the main page.

just my 2cent opinion

Since you have to lacquer (finish, anyway) a maple fretboard, it doesn't matter if you do it clear or black or pink. I don't know if this holds true for rosewood or ebony.

Many guitars have the back of the neck finished, LPs and Steinbergers, to name two.

if you do lacquer the fretboard, you needn't mask the frets; when the lacquer dries, score the bottom of the frets with an X-Acto knife and then pick the lacquer off of the frets.

humm the only thing that springs to my mind at the moment is this guitar by dean... its CRAZY!!!

and as long as you finish it properly should be fine.
