DrHanz Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 On the Gibson site I see that the fretboard of the Standard G45 now is made out of Rosewood in stead of richlite? That would justify the higher price for me. Richlite was a step down from walnut for me, to be honest. Do all new Standard G45's now ship with rosewood fretboards? Would be worth to wait for me...https://www.gibson.com/Guitar/ACC37J...ntique-Natural __________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also prefer a "real" full wood guitar. I bought the rosewood one made in june 2020. How it will sound I don't know yet because I bought the guitar online and will arrive this coming tuesday. I am convinced the sound will differ somewhat as richlite is a very hard material. Dennis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimecole Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 When did the change happen. Mine was made in Oct. 2020 is it Rosewood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
