"as you can see this is not an original finish, the previous owner refinished the guitar to give it a"relic" look because there was a crack coming through the finish at the bottom, anyway it is a great playing guitar all electronics work perfectly, sounds great through an amp, frets are in excellent condition. really plays great, If you don't like the relic look I guess you could spray paint it. ebony fret board"-- from E-baaa listing

Great Logic. It has a crack, so I'll make it look Worse! And that's REAL good advice about the spray-paint!
