btoth76 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hello Christian and welcome to the Forums! I am pretty sure it will be equipped with baked maple fingerboard. For feel it's just like ebony, in brown color. Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hi Christian, and welcome to the forum if you open this link, http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Jr-Faded/Specs.aspx you will find specs for that guitar. This one is baked maple as Bence says, and yes, it feels and responds a lot like ebony I have an 2012 SG Standard Limited fretboard is Baked Maple, also own an epi elitist Chet Atkins with an Ebony board, and indeed the feel and response is very similar. you wont really notice anything different, except it may feel a bit more responsive to your touch.

btoth76 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 ok thanks for the reply guys! only had guitars with rosewood before...i wonder if i will see a difference with this one. Hello! It will be definitely different. I like both woods. Rosewood has a warm feel, while the baked maple (and ebony) feels so solid, which I prefer for fast playing. Cheers...
