Re: What's your Favorite Tonewood?
fretboard material is extremely important but not for the reason you might think. Some materials simply work better, easier. For example: when leveling the fretboard, maple sands fine, rosewood clogs up the sandpaper and ebony is a dream to work with.
My new favorite, or at least rapidly becoming a favorite, is bog oak. This is pitch black, like ebony, but with pores slightly less dense. Sands great, looks beautiful and is sustainable compared to ebony.
