I read something a while back on here about using "guitar honey" or something, but I was wondering if that was the way to get rosewood's darker (close to ebony maybe) and also where to get it in the UK Thanks for any help

There are dyes that you can use to darken a rosewood fretboard. I know online places like Stewmac carry some dyes like that.

There have been some members here that have done it so maybe they will respond. I know it is best to keep the dye off of the inlays as much as possible so to not discolor them also.

there's only a XI (if that's 12) on the 12th fret so it wouldnt be hard i guess :) thanks anyway

I just read about "Fiebings Edge Dye" aparently its great for "ebonising" rosewoods, so if anyone knows where I can find some in the UK then please let me know :D
