Mandolin Fingerboard
Flat or compound radius playing surface! Our kiln-dried Ebony and Indian Rosewood fingerboards are accurately slotted for 29 frets and 13-7/8" scale length.
The .023"-wide fret slots are ready for our fretwire. Each fingerboard is supplied unprofiled (rectangular); you can simply cut it shorter to fit an A-style mandolin.Available with traditional flat playing surface, or with modern compound radius surface for lower string action.
Dimensions: 1-15/16" x 12" x 13/64" (49.21mm x 304.80mm x 5.16mm)
Compound radius fingerboard: The playing surface radius gradually changes from 7-1/4" at the nut, to 10" at the 12th fret, to 12" at the 29th fret, to allow lower string action and easier playability. 13" bridge saddle radius is recommended.

Important:
Ebony is usually not uniformly black. We offer Black Fingerboard Stain, as used by Gibson®, Paul Reed Smith® and other makers for darkening the streaks on ebony fingerboards, bridges and peghead overlays.
