It has become increasingly difficult to find high quality, traditional style fingerboard material; those pure black fingerboards that players have come to continually expect to have over the years.
It can take up to 20 trees to find a single tree that can provide material without any lighter colored streaking. That's 1 in 20 trees; astoundingly inefficient and detrimental to this sort of natural resource.
We searched for sustainable sources of the best quality fingerboards available, and after some time, we're excited to offer one of the finest selections you can find.
Each fingerboard has been kiln-dried, ensuring stability and readiness for use.
 
Royal Blackwood is produced through the torrefaction of Purpleheart (Peltogyne catingae).
 
This technique transforms the wood into a deep black shade while preserving its natural grain and workability.
 
Unlike dyed wood, the black hue remains consistent throughout the entire piece and is unaffected by glues, moisture, or solvents.
 
The density of this material falls between Ebony and Indian Rosewood, and it's an excellent choice for fingerboards.
 
Many builders opt for it instead of Ebony due to its strikingly similar appearance and texture.
