Re: Favorite Fretboard

I love ziricote, cocobolo, pau ferro and paduak.

You have not stipulated wood. Hence, I am going to nominate graphite re-inforced plastic. The fingerboard of my Chapman Stick (see avatar) is made of the stuff.

Similarly, I dig the composite board on my Parker Fly.

All of the above.

Not a fan of unfinished/untinted maple, light hued rosewood or typical pau ferro...aesthetically they are a total turn off. I avoid them like the plague.

Pau ferro and paduak. This is why i love them. I also forgot to mention bubinga. It is a great fretboard wood.

Re: Favorite Fretboard

I hate light colored rosewood, otherwise I'm pretty much good with any fretboard - assuming it is done correctly and feels right. I am a fun of untraditional woods being used as well.
