fretted to fretless
 
I know generally you can pull frets and apply epoxy. How feasible is it to remove frets and apply a wooden fretboard like ebony for a qualified luthier?

That's a good question you mean remove the entire old fretboard and put on a new one?.

Well i have a maple neck that just has a maple fretboard, so i'm not dealing with rosewood or anything. It seems you could pull the frets plane it down and glue a board on and reapply the nut.

Depending on the neck itself, it could either be very simple or...not. Pictures of the neck?

I can get them later. It's a standard stingray with a maple neck. I was thinking an ebony board or wild olive

Any particular areas i need to concentrate on with the pictures.
