Brankowood® FSC 100% Black A+ Fingerboard 720x90x9 mm
The Brankowood® Black fingerboard is a sustainable, stable alternative to ebony, with a homogeneous, elegant look that reproduces its classic aesthetics. Made from FSC 100% certified Pinus radiata and stabilized with natural resins, it offers a durable, moisture-resistant material with very uniform color.
Compatibility by size: the 720 x 90 x 9 mm format works as a blank for 4/5-string bass and is compatible with Bass VI (Fender/Squier and equivalents). A typical VI neck pocket is ≈56 mm; the 90 mm width gives ample heel margin and supports layouts up to 24 frets. The 9 mm thickness allows radiusing across a wide range (e.g., 7.25"–20"+) with enough stock for setup and future leveling. For wide 6-string or demanding multiscale, consider 720 x 105 x 9 mm.
Moisture content is reduced to around ≈5% for excellent dimensional stability. Its higher density approaches ebony, providing a defined acoustic response and a firm feel under the fingers.
Thanks to post-stabilization homogeneity, this stabilized fingerboard offers very friendly workability: easy to sand and finish, with reduced risk of chipping or grain variation.
