You should ebonized the rosewood fret board like I did on my Fender American Std. Strat. That would really black out your guitar. I used ebony wood stain on mine and the results turned out great.

I may just do that! It's really dark right now, but not Black!

When you finally finish it, you need to put up a dark blues style tune !!
Cheers to the finished product!!!
