I sent pictures to Customer Service when I bought the guitar. They said it "appears to be" ebony. I sent new pictures to Customer Service when I opened this thread. They said it "appears to be" rosewood. I love this guitar whatever it is. It looks and plays like ebony to me, and to at least one expert it appears to be ebony, so it is ebony! (maybe low grade, streaky, grainy, off-color light ebony, but still ebony)

It plays and sounds great. I want to keep it for that reason. I just prefer matching ebony board for ebony finish body. I would trade this maybe-ebony board for a positively-ebony board. But I am happy to keep it. I will tell myself it is ebony if I keep it. I will tell myself it is rosewood if I don't keep it. I cannot tell myself it is ebony and not keep it.

I'm sorry the pics are not good quality. Thanks to all who replied. This guitar is for sale. If it sells, it was rosewood and I'm happy to get rid of it. If I keep it, it is ebony and I'm glad I kept it.

Ebony finish, was told it was ebony fretboard by ebay seller about a year ago, too late for any recourse if it was a lie. I have other guitars with rosewood and ebony boards, this one looks closer to ebony but not as smooth surface. If it is rosewood it is very dark, and not nearly as grained surface. I would need to open another thread to post more pics, as this one pic is 472.8k of my 500k limit. I deleted the original pic so I could post 3 new ones.

Thank you.

I have a 1994 Studio and I cannot tell if the fretboard is ebony or rosewood. Here are 3 pictures, please tell me what you think.
