Hello, I picked up a great little bargain the other day in a secondhand shop. I had always wanted a hollow body guitar with F holes and had to have it at the price I paid I came with original case.

The guitar sounds lovely both plugged in and unplugged. It is difficult to play and very unforgiving, but has a lovely feel to it.

There are a few things I want to do including putting a mic/pick up inside of the guitar as the single pickup that it does have sounds lovely, but does don’t give a very strong signal and have to put a lot of gain on it to get any volume.

I want to make the action better and make it a bit easier to play, and what I would love is to have a maple fretboard on it. So my question is, how hard would it be to replace the fretboard with a maple one or how much would it cost to pay a Luther to do it for me? Bearing in mind it’s not a bolt on, it’s glued on neck
