I 've always used ebony for my fretboards . A few times I've done them from rosewood ( old Brazillian) ,wenge, cocobola, bloodwood, and purpleheart. I've never been happy with these because of the look and they don't seem to wear as well....all just a bit to soft for continous use.
So my question is, what other woods have you tried and how did you like them .....and why?
