Budget 25-inch Scale Cigar Box Guitar Fretboards - Choose Wood Type

These budget-friendly cigar box guitar fretboards are produced overseas, using quality hardwoods and nickel-silver frets. We offer them as an economy-minded option to our premium American-made CBG fretboards handmade made here in the C. B. Gitty shops, for builders who care more about the bottom line than where something was made and by whom. Currently available in three types of wood, these are fretted to a 25-inch scale and may require final sanding and some smoothing before use. We do basic quality checking on them, but be aware before buying our caveat that these parts are sold "As Is", and that with lower prices often come higher risks.

Also, please note that the "Roasted Maple" variety comes with antiqued frets that have a darkening patina on them, a leftover from the torrefaction process the wood went through. We feel this gives them an interesting vintage look (like something you might see on an old Kay or Stella guitar from the 50's), but it can be buffed off with steel wool if desired. See the detail listing photo to get an idea of what the patina looks like. The other wood varieties have normal shiny frets.
