cigar box guitar fretboards Exotic Pre -slotted fretboards .. bubinga ..Condition is "New". Shipped with USPS Retail Ground. For your consideration i offer these very nice exotic hardwood cigar box guitar fretboards. Bubinga , also know as ovangkol is a exceptional tonewood from Africa it is visually appealing and has excellent tonal qualities and durability. it is a species of tree related to rosewood and is sometimes called African rosewood. it is very similar in durability and tonal properties. . it is popular with highend custom shop instrument builders and is usually only found on highend custom instruments. These are already pre slotted for you accurately! 21 fret positions 24 " scale lenght. Slotted with the most accurate templates and highest quality Fret slotting blade available to ensure if you use these boards your instrument will play in tune with accurate intonation. Slots are .023 to accept standard guitar fretwire tangs.These boards are approximately 1-1/2" wide and should fit most cigarbox guitar necks or just buy a board 1-1/2" wide which should be readily available almost anywhere. I would recommend giving these a final sanding with a fine grit sandpaper 220 - 400 grit to achieve butter smooth action and to make the figure in the wood pop and highlight the natural beauty of the wood . Great deal on some quality boards that can take your next build to another level .much better looking and sounding than cheap oak or poplar fretboards most builders use and aren't really suitable for instrument building. Be aware every piece of wood has it's own unique figuring and grain pattern. No 2 pieces are identical. The board pictured may or may not be the actual board you receive as i have several of these and each as it's own unique figure and grain . This is very good quality tonewood usually only found on very expensive custom shop instruments. Every professional instrument builder knows
if you want to build a instrument that looks good plays well and sounds great you have to start with quality tonewood .
if you want a quality instrument you should as well.
