Fingerboard or fretboard is the most important component of any stringed instrument. It’s a thin strip of material usually laminated to the neck of the instrument. Selection of wood has a great impact on the overall guitar tone. Players often concentrate on selecting the wood for guitar body and neck. It’s also important to choose the right wood for your fingerboard.

The fretboard affects the tone and feel of your guitar. Fretboard has less impact on your tonal quality but it affects the overall feel and playability of your instrument. Perfect fingerboard makes you comfortable and keeps your instrument in control while playing.

It’s essential to select the fretboard according to your appropriate playing style. Few tonewoods like Ebony, Rosewood and Maple are consistently used in the making of fingerboards. At Exotic Wood Zone, select from various fingerboard tonewoods.
