Robbinst Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 ^ Thanks!! OK I really need some opinions guys, I'm not sure what type of wood to use for the fretboard. I cant tell if i should go with a light or a dark wood for it, so let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostheta Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hmm. I would say darker than the body on the basis that light would clash with the headstock. To be honest, the colour tone of your neck wood would be perfect for a fingerboard also I think. I can just see Bocote on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I agree with darker. When in doubt pick ebony. It goes with everything. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazingblake Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Your wood working skills are really good that headstock is different it looks like you could catch fish with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob123 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I will vote for a cocbolo fretboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Cocobolo is nice but perhaps a little colour-rich? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob123 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) Cocobolo is nice but perhaps a little colour-rich? perhaps, but it does give a very nice effect! Id imagine the color pattern would be akin to this edit: bocote would kick ass as well of course Edited September 8, 2012 by bob123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Agreed. That is a really nice instrument! I presume you are planning on changing the colour of the body somewhat if that is a clue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbinst Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I think going to be including a perched raven on my builds from now on as kind of a trademark thing. Once the tuners are installed it will appear as though its sitting on the tuning machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
