For our "Maple Fingerboard With Veneer" option, we laminate a piece of East Indian rosewood on to clear maple.

For the "Slots Cut" option, we have cut slots for the nut, bridge and frets so they are ready for installation. We will cut slots for 18 frets (including the 6 1/2 fret) for a total scale length of 27".

For the "Frets Installed" option, we cut the slots as in the "Slots Cut" option, and install and trim the frets. The price you see includes the installation and the fret wire.
 

About East Indian Rosewood: East Indian rosewood tends to be light purple to dark purple and brown when freshly cut, but darkens over time to an almost uniform dark brown. The wood is very dense and will finish to an incredibly smooth surface. Rosewood is perfect for fingerboards, and is prized for its tone quality when used as a soundboard. The only real drawback with rosewood for any part of your instrument is the price - rosewood is getting harder and harder to find.
