Not a real fancy design, but a great use of different materials. This is the first fretboard for Smoke Box Instruments' new .50 Caliber guitar. This is a beautiful AAAA flame maple neck and matching fretboard. The stars are made of Bocote wood. The gold wood with the dark chocolate grain look absolute awesome against the maple. I love the thinking here. There are too many fretboard markers out there just made of Mother of Pearl or Mother of Toilet Seat. This is really a breath for fresh air. My hat is off to Brian and Paul over at Smoke Box for having the guts to do something different. Check out thier guitars.
