Hmmm, I've got the graying going on in spades and perish the thought of any dye touching me! (thankfully, the wife concurs
).
And thus I feel likewise about any guitar I own. Personally speaking, of course, but the wood is the wood: if I don't like its figuring, I would never dye it to "make" it something that it
intrinsically is not. It just smacks of "fake fake fake" to me. If one doesn't care for any wood's figuring, there are simply too many other offerings out there that would suit one's tastes; no need to resort to "trickery." Not to mention dye seems like an assault on a perfectly innocent guitar to me: it is what it is, save the tree --errr-- guitar!!
As was already succinctly said, figured grain is like tonal differences: we like what we like, and should simply move on from there.
