Hi Jack,

If you're not able to find any replacement fretboards, you may be interested in a very easy and inexpensive solution--white automotive pinstriping tape--available at most auto parts stores or online.

It comes in different widths; I think I bought the 1/8" wide tape. A 36" roll is about $3, and is enough for several fretboards.Works great; I've had it on for years.

It goes on easily and it is easy to remove if you want to return the fretboard to its original condition.

Thanks, Dave...That's a great idea, but I realize I wasn't specific enough. I'm looking for the silver non-glare boards.

Jack: Are you looking for a 10 string or 12 string fretboard. I have a 12 string fretboard if you want it. NM

Hi Jack:

I would suggest reaching out to Bob Adams. He's a Forum member. I bought a couple chrome fretboards from him recently. He may be all out, but if you and others express interest, he may have more made up. The are REALLY nice:
