Anyone know of a place that I could buy some Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboards at a reasonable price?

I've looked a great deal, but haven't found anything.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I'll check it out.
I guess they're just not listed on the site (or I'm just missing where to find them)

Rule #1 when dealing with suppliers. Only about 20% of what they have is listed on the websites. Always call if you really want something. They are wood suppliers, not web site updaters.

Good luck. Talked with Steve a few weeks back and no more BRW. He sent me to a few other guys and i have had zero luck. I believe it will probably be best if I get off the BRW idea altogether. Its stressing me out. [headinwall]

Steve is always the first call to make... but if he is out...

I would try Carl Barney next. I know he has some brazilian sets. My guess is he has fingerboards and other pieces as well.

Vikwood still lists BRW fingerboards, but you would need to check if they actually have them in stock.

I hadn't heard of Vikwood before. I'll give it a try since it is listed on their site.

Always nice to have more places to look.

Thanks!

I just got the weekly special email from Allied Lutherie.

They have a bunch of Braz fingerboards available right now.
