Best Rosewood Fretboard Epiphone Acoustic Guitars in 2023
Here you'll find the best Rosewood fretboard Epiphone acoustic guitars. Since the ban of Brazillian Rosewood, this has become a rare and expensive wood. It's not usually used for guitar bodies because of this, and also because it's heavy. Instead, it's used mainly for fretboards. Sometimes it's also used for necks because it's an extremely hard wood (even harder than maple). Its tonality tends to favor warm tones.
