Billy Gibbons has a lot of guitars with painted fretboards. I think it's a nice stage guitar, give the people something different to look at.

I'd rock one.

I think it's awful looking. I really, really hate painted fretboards.

I imagine it would last just as long as any other maple board . . .


I mean, ultimately, every maple fretboard is finished. we're just used to seeing it as clear coat.

either way, I think it would look cool as it got worn in (played, not "relic'd")

I think I'm in this camp. I want to like this Tele, but I can't.

And those Deans are... well.. Deans, so I'm definitely inclined to not like them.

Are the Gibson baked maple fretboards clear-coated? I haven't seen one in the fl-, er, wood.
