lancesworld Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I am trying to decide what I want my fretboard to be. I have already decided that it is going to be a 25" inch scale. The neck is a through-neck limba/purpleheart/limba laminate. My choices at this point are zebrawood, pau ferro, maple, or purpleheart. Though I admit these choices are from a purely cosmetic position. Any suggestions which would better suit the proposed instrument would be greatly appreciated.

SoundAt11 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Clear sustaining tone, density, and good looks are it's Pluses. Negatives would be it's course, open-pored feel. Great choice on the purpleheart and limba, btw, both are great tonewoods that match well. You might consider Wenge for the fretboard. Think of it as a darker looking version of Zebrawood, but it's a little smoother and has more bass to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
