By 'fingerboard' are you saying fretless?
If so, whatever kind of Diamondwood you can get.
If not - I donno - Pau Ferro? Wenge?
Frankly, I'd go with whatever Keith suggested...

No fretted. I’m thinking BEM. Going to the shop tomorrow and will indeed see what he suggests.
I think ebony would look great with that body.
Keith also recently had some really nice looking zebra wood fingerboards. It actually looked similar to white wenge or spalted Purple Heart (where the entire board is spalted).
Well I put of my pilgrimage till next week. Will be picking up my new fl Century 6 and my LG 5. So I’ll talk to Keith more then. Exciting times indeed.
When did you make the order for the Century 6? I placed an order in July but have no recent updates. I'm not gonna bug Keith and Kyle, just let them work their magic.
I've always liked this one. I like the hum cancelling pickups. My current jazz is single coil and they have a certain sound for sure, but the hum kinda bugs me. I guess that's the price you pay for that classic single coil jazz sound.
For me the answer is always ebony. But I really don't like the look of maple fretboards. I know, it's weird.
I'd also be a little tempted to do a cocobolo fretboard to match the top. I know Keith discourages "same with same" configurations, but one of my best Roscoes has a cocobolo fretboard, so I'd be tempted.
Bah hum bug!
Had to beat Ray & Joe to it
a man after my heart!
You’re make progress Matt.
You’re going to be shocked at how many more friends you’ll have once you fully mature as a pun master!

One of the most unusual, but gorgeous Buckeye Burl top I’ve ever seen!
