I am working on a sinker Redwood/Dalbergia Cultrata baritone and I was planning on using BRW for the fretboard and bridge. However, the fretboard warped during my last move abd I'm glad I never built with it now. It was Ebay junk but definitely BRW. I havent been able to source Dalbergia Cultrata fretboards thus far and I haven't been able to find any BRW either. Anyone know of a good source for either or have a suggestion on a replacement species? I'd go with Ebony but that seems a bit boring. I do have a matching set of Boise de rose but I'm not crazy about the color scheme. The neck will be laminated mahogany/rosewood/mahogany.
