In recent years there have been wide swings in the quality of Indian Rosewood, but our team has procured sustainable sources of some of the darkest, most even and straight-grained Indian Rosewood fingerboards available anywhere. For decades Indian Rosewood has been the choice of boutique builders as well as major manufacturers because it is extremely stable, beautiful, and is (often) much less expensive than more exotic rosewoods. It's easy to assume that due to Indian Rosewood's ( Dalbergia latifolia) low price this is a lesser quality rosewood, but nothing could be further from the truth. Crelicam Ebony is very hard, super smooth, and holds frets well-you'll make an excellent playing fingerboard with a boutique, one of a kind look. Each fingerboard is unique, the colors range from tans and golds, to blacks, greens and purples with a mix of variegation, light and dark lines, and even some flame.

This is the same species of ebony that you know and love, but each piece has been hand-selected for its gorgeous looks and exceptional feel. StewMac is extremely proud to be one of the only luthier suppliers of Crelicam Ebony ( Diospyros crassiflora). We think these visual variations offer character and enhance the aesthetics of most guitars, but if you desire a perfectly dark, jet black appearance consider using our Black Fingerboard Stain to darken the board and create the desired visual effect. Our Ebony ( Diospyros crassiflora) comes from West Africa and tends to be more uniformly black than we have seen from other sources, however, most African ebony is not perfectly jet black, most boards have some visible grain and occasional streaks of greys and tans.
