Expensive Modulus basses use phenolic fretboards. What's your point? It's not a cheap or low grade material by any means.
i was stating that the only production guitar i know if that uses phenolic boards are the cheaper washburns.

I prefer necks made of solid elephant ivory, and bodies from the bones of Californian condors. Panda tooth inlays. As well as Floyd Roses made from spotted owls.

Also, the term "endangered" has become a fairly misleading term. The fact of the matter is, it could take another century or more to deplete some of these wood species to extinction.

It's very important topic which you have choose for this thread. Illegal wood imported for guitar. Hope that you would get better response on it.
Chain-of-custody certification and sustainable harvest programs are badly needed for all industries which consume wood products.

I think this is a common assumption - guitars are small, furniture is big, therefore furniture making must consume more exotic wood than luthiery. But I haven't seen any actual numbers to back this up. Then I talked to a cabinet-maker friend of mine who told me that luthiers have a reputation for being the worst among woodworkers for using unsustainable woods. This is just an anecdotal story and proves nothing but my point is that the assumption that instrument makers are "less bad" than furniture makers is not necessarily true.However, I do think that guitar building is the least of the worries. I wonder what percentage of exotic wood actually goes towards guitars compared to expensive custom furniture etc.
