Restore ebonized fretboard
My neighbor has a nice Ibenez that looks like small dread. The black stain on the fretboard has worn of on the first three frets. There is no real damage to the wood, it needs to be restained. What do you folks recommend? I'm trying to attach a photo but have been unsuccesssf

Fiebing's leather dye was the standard with Martin and Gibson for many years.
