Beveling

I'm on the fence of getting a new fingerboard. I want it beveled (mine now is rounded) but I was wondering if an existing rounded board can be beveled, or if it would require a completely new board.

if your board is meaty enough you could have one blazed in there. i prefer to take them out myself though.

Any particular reason you prefer beveled?

Playing on the E feels a lot better to me beveled. Maybe it's just me.
