Curly Ebony Fingerboard 470×75×9 mm MB Exclusive Nº16

Curly Ebony Fingerboard 470×75×9 mm MB Exclusive Nº16

Ebony is the reference wood for classical and flamenco guitar fingerboards thanks to its extreme hardness, dimensional stability and very fine pores. These properties provide a fast and precise feel, excellent wear resistance and a clear, defined response even under intensive playing. Its natural stiffness helps maintain neck stability and a predictable behaviour over time.

This fingerboard, in curly ebony, shows a very elegant natural undulation. The curl appears depending on the angle of light, creating subtle and deep visual effects while preserving the sober look of black ebony. Each piece features a unique pattern that adds exclusivity to the finished instrument without compromising the classical or flamenco aesthetic.

Compatibility and format

With dimensions of 470 × 75 × 9 mm (18-1/2" × 2-15/16" × 3/8"), this fingerboard is suitable for classical and flamenco guitars, offering enough working margin to fine-tune the final width, profile and length according to the luthier’s design. This format corresponds to the traditional Spanish guitar standard.
