ok so im ordering a neck from warmoth and i can choose from 2 different ebony fingerboards which im putting onto a padouk (vivid red color that turns brownish over time) neck, which will ultimately go on an orange-brown rusted colored guitar with black hardware. since i cant choose which one would you guys use.
