Indian Ebony Fingerboards

PLEASE NOTE THESE BOARDS ARE SANDED THINNER AT .220" Size: About 21" x 2-3/4" to 2-3/8" x .220" Indian Ebony is also more sustainable than African Ebony as the Indian government does a good job of managing their forests and doesn't allow export of it in lumber form, so these boards are all tapered so that they can be exported as a finished product.  It is lighter in weight than African Ebony, though it is similarly stable and has similar compression strength.  The one downside to Indian Ebony is that it does have a lot of mineral in it, which is the main criteria used for grading.  A Premium (4A) board will be black without significant mineral.  A 1st Grade (3A) board will have some mineral.  And a 2nd Grade (2A) board will have heavy mineral.  Our supply of 2nd grade boards and striped boards are minimal so please contact us to inquire about pricing and stock.  We can also offer wholesale pricing on mixed grade orders that are greater than 100 pieces.  Please get in touch for detail
