Not sure what you're asking, but if it if anyone is interested in buying prefretted fingerboards of the wood you stated, I could be interested in Rosewood if the price is right. email me you're thoughts. Typically I have done 1/4" thick red oak o or pine, Lowes or Maynards doesn't sell rosewood without special ordering and likely not the size I would request anyway. But I am interested in knowing more. I did my first fretjob last month on a Padron build for a friend and found that it simply takes time, but it was not as difficult as I imagined. Thanks.
