...i have rubbed stain into a fairly light rosewood fret board to give it the look of ebony...worked like a charm.... i used stew mac black mixed with a touch of brown to warm it up and thinned it with a little alcohol....but i would think any stain would work....it was a new unfinished tele neck so the fretboard was pristine...it was fretted though...a well played neck may not take the stain as well so i would scrape it with a razor blade first before proceeding carefully...
