Nice guitar Kenny. I wondered if the fingerboard was rosewood or ebony so I looked it up. Turns out it's neither. It's actually Pau Ferro which I'd never heard of so I looked it up on Wikipedia. It seems to be an alternative to rosewood which is getting to be too expensive. Fender uses it in many of their guitars. I imagine other guitar manufacturers do too.

Here's a good article about electric guitar tonewoods. It has a section on fretboard woods, including Pau Ferro.

Anyway, congratulations on the beautiful new guitar!
