Without any doubt, Ebony has a great resistance to wear and frictions produced by guitarist and by string tension, so it’s very easy to understand the massive use of this wood in this part of Guitar.

Regarding to the acoustic, African Ebony adds a brilliant and dynamic touch to the sound of your instrument. What is more, Ebony is a perfect material for fingerboards due to is stability, its physical appearance, and its great attachment to frets.
