MY yuck fretboard now looks super kick***!!! This is my Ibanez Universe UV70P which I love all around, BUT...the fretboard was total puke territory! One of the ugliest rosewood boards I have ever seen on a guitar. When I first plugged it in at the guitar store I was instantly won over. It sounds and plays so damn good!!! So this is the conclusion to what turned out to be a bigger project than I had planned lol. I've stained a handful of rosewood fretboards prior to this one with relative ease, but this one...it was a total d**k about it!!! However, I always win the war and now it looks gorgeous. Once I restring it and intonate it I will do another follow up video. Thanks so much for watching!

There’s nothing wrong with making the Guitar as perfect to you as possible, it is your opinion of how you want it. I think it looks great. Great job Kevin!!

Just a word of advise regarding staining your fret boards. Try looking up a fine woodworking supply store in your area. Rockler Woodworking/Woodcraft are a couple big ones. Take a look at their wood dyes, dyes tend to work better than stains on hardwoods and a lot of them are alcohol based and dry extremely fast.

Fiebings Black Leather Dye is the way to go, for me at least. Rubs right off the markers and the frets. Can be tricky if you have fb binding though so it has to be taped and it can still find the little cracks there might be lurking in the binding

I find it interesting that the original UV7BK has a much darker rosewood fretboard than what the UV70P comes with despite also being rosewood, maybe just a difference in how the rosewood is finished while in the manufacture process?

@MFKR696 5 ай бұрын

Sorry for the off-topic question, but is there a pre-workout and post-workout blend you'd recommend for preventing injury/promoting recovery in an extremely physically-demanding job? I know glucosamine is good for the joints and tendons, and protein is the fuel the body uses to repair itself, but that's about the extent of my knowledge. I'm a middle-ager starting at General Motors as a second career-path, and I'd like to try and build my body up in the process of learning this new job, not destroy it (not great for job-security). I've heard good things about Magnum's products, but they're pricey as hell. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I already used two markers on my fretboard to stain and it’s actually pretty dark but fuck it I’ll add some stain just to see how much more it is.

bought one recently, had a nice dark board, maybe the darkest i have seen on one of these. high e string too close to edge and the frets were cut in too far so i had to return it

@mikel4159 5 ай бұрын

I've thought about darkening the fretboard on one of my guitars, I'm just a little concerned about what's the right stuff to use, I'd fuckin hate to do it an then several years down the line it will barely take in any oil and end up causing issues.

@brandonjackson5865 5 ай бұрын

Those doo doo brown fretboards look especially hideous on black guitars. I got a 95 RG550 LTD with a rosewood board but it’s as dark or darker than ebony boards I’ve seen. I guess everyone appreciates something different in wood grain and shade on their fretboards but I don’t mind a few streaks but prefer really tight grain mostly dark rosewood and I guess we’ve just about used all the choice rosewood up. It’s crazy you can find older Squiers and Cheaper Ibanez and Jacksons with way better looking fretboards than some of the newer mid tier to higher end stuff. I had around a 2010 RG 920 qm that had a rosewood board on it that was much lighter and it didn’t look that bad on the Orange quilt top but the wood grain of the board had a lot of “dog hair” wood grain in it that I just didn’t like. I’m sure it would’ve filled in with finger gunk eventually. Then people will say it doesn’t matter what it looks like and I call BS we all picked up the guitar because we thought it was cool and if your guitar doesn’t look cool to you then you won’t be inspired to pick it up and play it. The green and black is my favorite Universe besides the original Swirls. I think they would’ve looked great with disappearing green pyramids on those black and green, but the green dots kick ass too .
