Re: Carbon Fibre Fingerboards
I've played a guitar with CF fingerboard. Sounded good, had active d'marzio pickups a really good tremolo system that had a switch to set it to floating or stopped, a string tension wheel and sperzel locking tuners. it also had acoustic piezo pickups which sounded surprisingly good for a guitar with such a thin body. I don't own it by the way, I can't even remember what guitar it was.
A Johnson maybe because I recognise the headstock from one of their pics

Yep. The piezo would need a battery. Since the piezo bridge came stock, that'd be the reason for the battery clip.

Re: Carbon Fibre Fingerboards
Well, I own an Adamas acoustic with a carbon fiber top, and I owned a Steinberger for years with a 1 piece graphite neck (the neck and fingerboard were one piece). This neck was great, really, a kind of matte black (although Rainsong guitars use gloss finishes)...and I loved the fact that it was immune to temp changes. The tone was pretty immediate, which I liked...lots of lows and highs with little mids. One of these sounds you either love or hate.
I really love the idea, and wish the material was used more on guitars- so the price comes down. Which specific guitar are you asking about?

Re: Carbon Fibre Fingerboards
The guitar mentioned in previous posts, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. All I know was that its good and it makes the vegeterians slightly less angry. Was the fingerboard carbon fibre?
Another great thing about carbon fibre fingerboards is the fact that they are man made to begin with so they don't have any characteristics of wood such as knots and other imperfections. They won't wear out any where near as easily and will last longer too. They actually feel almost like wood. More like plastic.
About the Dimarzio passive pickups, the salesman told me both the electric and acoustic pickups were active.
Guess he lied. he lies about a lot of things such as.
"There's no difference between Mexi-strats and American strats"
"That Gotoh locking tremolo system is top of the range" (just the nut was $50.00)
NOTE: I never bought any of the above mentioned items:laugh2:

Re: Carbon Fibre Fingerboards
I like them a lot too, but I prefer ebony for some reason. Maybe because my warlock has an ebony fingerboard.
What really determines how fast someone can play?
my strat has a rather thick neck and my washburn has a rather thin neck and I can play equally as fast on both of them...
