Mr. Preston Swift Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I was recently looking at Parker Acoustic guitars and i saw that one of them had an all white fretboard and bridge made of ivoroid. http://parkerguitars.com/code/models/model...cp10e_intro.asp It looks really cool, but is it a suitable choice for a fingerboard? Also where could someone obtain a piece of ivoroid big enough to be a fingerboard or a bridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivoroid! which is not the same as Ivory Edited August 26, 2007 by Hector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Preston Swift Posted August 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Yeah, but is ivoroid actually white white and not sort of cream colored? Is there a wood that's almost completely white out there that could be used as a fingerboard wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low end fuzz Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 holly; but to find a piece w/o knots and defects is difficult; for the lenght of a fb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 (edited) I believe ivoroid is a man-made material ivory is the real deal. kinda like abalone X abalam. Edited August 26, 2007 by Hector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
