Rosewood Fretboard Electric Guitars
Rosewood Fretboard Electric Guitars
Rosewood belongs to the genus dalbergia and has been used to make electric guitar fretboards for decades. Popularised by guitar giants Gibson, rosewood has a gorgeously rich colour and polishes up extremely well. It takes a bit of love and care to keep clean, but it is worth investing the time into this beautifully grainy wood.
If you have a keen interest in your tonewoods and are seeking a guitar with a mellow, comforting sound, a rosewood fretboard will go a long way in fulfilling your tonal endeavours.
Since the 2017 CITES restricting the trade of rosewood, most cuts have been kept in stock for high-end premium guitars. You’ll find rosewood fingerboards equipped to guitars made by Gibson, Fender, Music Man, PRS and Duesenberg.
