Hi, just bought a Martin D10E online and received delivery. The discolouration on the fingerboard was a real shock to me. Is this normal or expected or should I ask for a replacement? I know you can oil them etc but I thought I would ask if this is normal before I start doing anything to it. Open minded here - let me know what you think. UPDATE - Didn't take me long to come to my senses and realise that this natural undyed ebony is beautiful and awesome - thanks redditors!
