finish?
Quote:
I once read that the key to a good finish is in the sanding. Polishing wood up to the look of glass makes a world of difference. |

Can the morado fingerboard be ordered on higher end models like the GN or TN series?

Why?
Just curious. Why would you want to do this?

Thanks, Ken.
Because brown is the new black? Some of my favorite sounding KS clips on youtube have a morado fb, but oh how I lurvs the look of a 5 peice body. I won't know for sure until I try some. |

Well....
Definitely would advise against using YouTube as a reference point. Simply not an accurate representatation of what your sound would be, with you playing, through your rig.

Years ago it was what we used most mainly for the lack of good quality reliable ebony. Once we found a reliable supply, we started making them both ways with either FB before switching to Ebony as the standard for those models. All you have to do is Ask and we will make it with Morado.

Smith classic wax polish rules
I use on my fretted and fretless Smith basses, on the ebony fretboard, the "Smith classic wax polish" and the result was much better than only the lemon oil.
Best regards |

Yes, the Smith Classic Wax Polish is excellent for the Ebony FB.

I didn't mention the wax polish because not everyone has it. Still, in the shop we normally use mineral oil for maintenance or the wax polish. In the finishing we do put an initial coat of oil on the board when oiling the neck and body but just that one coat and then wiped off. That is just a sealer, one time.
