Yes, I understand the issues regarding lacquering a Rosewood or Ebony fingerboard. The oil in these woods tends to lift the lacquer compared to using black painted oak (as BM has).
I'm sure your guitar plays beautifully and this was not an attempt to 'dis' your guitar. I have one of the first prototypes of the KZ_Fryer Supers (no. 3) which also has an unlacquered fingerboard. If it's any consolation, Brian's Super (no.1... Greg Fryer has no. 2) is identical; i.e. it has an unlacquered fingerboard!

That picture is so hard to read I'm not 100% certain that all the text is in German. You really do need a real scanner, these look like digital photos.
I am in posession of a real scanner but it didn`t work with Windows7 :( ...was fine with XP, but I don`t use it anymore. They look like digital photos cause they are.

Funny you say that, I was watching the Cosmos tour video at the weekend and I noticed that Brian's Super had the same fingerboard as mine, then I spotted the Jamies was lacquered.
