Hi Neil,
Good guess as it bears some resemblance to Zircote but the fret board is actually Madagascar RW. I invested in several of these landscape figured fret boards, bridge blanks, back and side sets from LMI about a 15 years ago when they had that once in a lifetime shipment of MRW. Its sad that 99% of the MRW on the market today is flat to rift sawn, at best.
These are a few quartersawn sets that dreams are made of
The fret board markers are new-ish for us. We've only done a few in the past. Steve wanted a marker which he could easily see from the side yet still wrapped around to the front of the fret board.They are hard maple and coordinate with other subtle maple accents on the guitar, thanks to Mary's keen eye and loving guidance.
