On the general board I've been asking for tuning suggestions for a near basket case parlour guitar project I've resurrected ( beats watching telly) the fret board has been dyed black to disguise it is a white wood could be holly poss acer or fruitwood any idea at suitable stain. The neck is a timber of a similar provenance but appears to have been varnished or revarnished over the stain and was coal black. I'm not looking at a museum quality restoration but the solid spruce top and nicely figured mahogany back and sides warrant some time and TLC. The brass frets are in good condition and unmarked as is the saddle that is a straight bar of nickel silver or similar. Any suggestions
Thanks

otis1960: A few years ago I wrapped similarly-sized apples, onions, and potatoes in foil, and offered the bucket to visiting 'Trick or Treaters' to take a pick. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:02 GMT

otis1960: I thought this wholly in the spirit of 'Trick or Treat', but evidently I was mistaken. It didn't end well. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:57 GMT

scorpiodog: No, newdave. BUt I normally wake up at 5:30 so I listened to the depressing news then. Nov 6, 2024 10:05:04 GMT

newdave: I was disappointed too but I don't think I'll really feel it until next year, when it will suddenly become all too real. Nov 8, 2024 19:52:53 GMT

NikGnashers: Nice covering of snow here today Nov 19, 2024 7:20:54 GMT

newdave: Snowing in North London too. And settling. Temperature is probably too high for it to last though. Nov 19, 2024 7:58:48 GMT

borborygmus: We have snow in Northamptonshire. Road is a little slushy but clear. Nov 19, 2024 9:08:40 GMT
