Shinobi update and advice.

Hey my loves! I got all the parts glued on and everything seems solid and goodly good.

My problem is i think the maple fingerboard is to light in colour and may distract the eye from the focal point. I am considering staining it lightly in a black dye but just enough so the grain shows through and its more of a grey. thoughts?

Here is a better older pic....

It might look a bit bright now but over time and with lots of use a worn maple neck would look awesome on that body. The way maple darkens and turns almost black with heavy use would look kind of badass.

I am not sure about the staining. Maybe you could make a mock neck out of some shittier maple and stain it so we can see how it might look.

You gotta darken it somehow.

Test the dye and see how it looks
