Brazilian Rosewood Unslotted Fingerboard for Guitar - 028
The most coveted tonewood in the world
Don't miss your chance! With StewMac's recent acquisition of Madinter, Europe's premier tonewood supplier, we have secured one of the last commercial stashes of 100% LEGAL Brazilian Rosewood in the world. We've had the rare opportunity to purchase a few hundred premium and ultra premium old-growth fingerboards.
These are the real deal, just like you'd find on your favorite vintage guitars. This may be one of your last chances to get your hands on CITES-approved Brazilian Rosewood eligible for global export. Upon request, we'll provide the information you need to apply for a CITES permit to export your finished instrument.
We suspect our stock may be the last of what is commercially available anywhere in the world. When these are gone, they will truly be GONE. So if you want to secure your stock for future builds—now is the time. We expect all of what we have to sell out incredibly quickly.

Brazilian Rosewood, Dalbergia nigra
Many builders and players SWEAR that there is no substitute for authentic Brazilian Rosewood—the dynamic tone, ringing sustain, and one-of-a-kind look are simply unparalleled. With commercial logging restricted in the 1960s and CITES regulation in the 1990s, only a small handful of sets have CITES documentation that make them eligible for legal export.
