The ESP Guitar Company

Pretty convinced that he has Rosewood, he has it roughly since summer 17, all that embargo on critical woods was not so strong yet. And also ESP still have rosewood in stock and deserves it for special works

Only a guess but pretty sure.

Cheers mate, I would imagine that he actually has Rosewood on his guitar.

Yep (305 / 25,4 = 12)

Different to the Demonology though according to this site

It's almost exactly like really tight grained ebony and sounds much the same. I'm not much on saying I can hear real tone differences in fret boards but feel wise, it was better. I played it on a Fender that I really liked. Seems they've been doing it for awhile. While Gibson was pissing it up their leg trying things like "Richlite", Fender was running to the Pau Ferro. PF is every bit the equal of Rosewood in terms of quality, and pretty much like ebony.

Cool. I noticed that Fender is using ebony on their elite models now. This pleases me greatly.

Thanks for sharing mate, sounds like there is nothing wrong with it.

Just makes me wonder why they didn't use it 20 years ago if it's just as good as Rosewood.

I wonder if it's cheaper than Rosewood?

What do you think of the fretboard on those photos? It doesn’t look like it’s scalloped to me. 

Not in these pics. Barely in the other link.

@AK :

Ah, cool. Probably it was the angle.

We have two arriving in April in Belgium
