Hi everybody,
I own a lovely Epi goldtop Les Paul standard made in 2017 and I'm quite curious about the fretboard material.
On Epi website they did not mention at all the board material, and it kinda looks it's not even wood, but some sort of synthetic thing: it looks like it's a very darkened rosewood-like wood, as if they took rosewood or similar wood and then stained it in black. but it's very smooth and despite its look it has no grain at all when you touch it, almost like a varnished fretboard (even if it's not varnished at all).
Btw it's a very nice fingerboard and I actually love it, it could even be a block of bakelite or concrete and I wouldn't mind ; I'm just curious about that.
So if you guys have some info to share it will be much appreciated.
Thanks everyone in advance
