HowieBass Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Great selection there. Love the Cocobolo! This link might be of interest - it's what Cort seem to be using now there's the restriction on rosewood fingerboards http://www.cortguitars.com/en/community/news_view.asp?idx=802 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) I'm surprised we don't see more use of Holly TBH - pure white virtually and supposedly quite dense - would make a great fretboard both functionally and aesthetically.

If you are referring to the London Plane Tree version of Lacewood (I think there are a few species called that?) then the photo of the Sycamore looks very close. The London Plane Tree is apparently closely related to the American Sycamore and might even be a hybrid of it. Whatever, I think Mick's chart is from exotichardwoodsukltd - and that's where I got this from below, so they certainly do hold it sometimes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Shop by me had a bass hanging up made of Banksia - it destroyed itself when I paid for it. It's winter, so I'm already wearing my coat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
