My Attitude had a painted neck-

My Grabber Blue has a maple board painted black.



That color has held up well to excellent over three and a half decades, it came strung with roundwounds and that is how I have kept it, agressive ones like Rotos too. Ironically, the only place where the black has worn off (showing the skunk stripe of an early Grabber) is the back of the neck where the hand of the pre-owner rested and transpired. Which goes to show that sweat affects more than the string action does.
