Look the 80s are back. People are more interested in what a guitar looks like rather than how it actually plays or sounds.............

The look of the Rosewood all depends on the care of the fretboard.Originally posted by Accept2 View Post
In the pic below, the top fretboard is a '94 Dinky Reverse. I've cleaned and oiled the fretboard when needed since I bought it in 1995. The bottom neck is a '95 dinky reverse that I got online. I took this pic the day after I got it. I agree that dry Rosewood don't look all that great. ON A NECK. But well cared for it looks great IMO.

Rosewood boards have heaps of mojo!Comment

Indian rosewood used in guitar construction today is usually pretty cheesy looking. And basically, they use every bit of it on the low-end stuff, there's no "not good enough" so you will see some guitars with fairly nice fretboards and others that look like driftwood.
Old-school rosewood is about as dense as most of the Ebony I see today, and had a nice, even reddish-brown color. Brazilian Rosewood is quite pricey and is very, very nice.Comment

Lol. I have a few guitars with great looking Rosewood boards. Some of the stuff that's made today has lumpy Rosewood. It sounds good enough, but looks bad IMO.Originally posted by Axewielder View PostComment

It depends on the finish. I LOVE the rosewood on my Ererie dess/chrome RR3, but frickin hate it on other guitars I've owned.
Also, on aged Les Pauls rosewood looks very nice and gets a nice patina on it that's as nice as aged maple boards on a stratComment

Rosewood can be good if it's good quality but unfortunately high end furniture companies such as PRS hog all the supply.
