Curly Ebony Fingerboard 530x75x9 mm MB Exclusive No.7

Curly Ebony Fingerboard 530x75x9 mm MB Exclusive No.7

Ebony is one of the benchmark woods for electric and acoustic guitar fingerboards thanks to its extreme hardness, high dimensional stability and very fine pore. These properties provide a fast, precise feel, excellent wear resistance and a clear response even under intensive playing. Its natural stiffness helps to keep the neck stable and predictable over time.

This fingerboard, made from curly ebony, shows a very elegant natural undulation. The curl reveals itself with the incidence of light, creating subtle depth and reflections while preserving the understated look of black ebony. Each piece has a unique figure that adds exclusivity to the finished instrument without compromising a traditional dark fingerboard aesthetic.

Compatibility and Format

Its dimensions of 530 × 75 × 9 mm (20-7/8" × 2-15/16" × 3/8") make it suitable for both electric and acoustic guitars, providing enough material to shape width, work different radii and adapt the neck design. It is a versatile format that fits most modern projects.

MB Exclusive Selection

Each MB Exclusive piece is selected individually based on its figure, stability and performance in professional lutherie. The piece shown in the photos is exactly the one you will receive: curl, colour and grain pattern are unique and will not be repeated in other blanks.
