where can i buy ebony wood? need it for the fretboard of a project guitar.
maple lang meron sa luthier na gagawa eh.

i think maple is too sticky tsaka nasanay narin sa ebony and rosewood  :-D

sticky? prolly sticky because of the finish that was used on the guitar. glossy finishes tend to do this but not satin ones. unless the wood has sap on it - and i doubt your kiln dried wood still has sap on it if the folks did a decent job of drying it out - you should be ok with maple unless you want the tone from rosewood and ebony specifically.

elegee does ebony fretboard. but i don't think they will sell their stock of ebony wood.

siguro kung mag papagawa ka ng buong neck.

quality gawa ni sir elegee, kung plyboard lang yung ginagamit niya malambot yun authentic ebony ginagamit niya.  :-)
