No offense taken. You know what you like, and many times that's all that really matters. Like I said to Don, we are all lucky we can order guitars they way we like them. No one guitar is for everyone. I think you'd like African blackwood for fretboard/bridge material. Very similar look as ebony, but a little livelier properties in my opinion. I think Micarta on a fretboard technically and sonically works perfectly fine, but I'd never use it! I'm not a type of wood snob, but I am a wood snob
