Elites and all Fender Mexico guitars will no longer have it. Sourse is from a dealer but the info was erased (probably requested by Fender) so sorry no links.

Now that it's going to be a bit more rare, guitars with it may get a bump in pricing on the used market. QUOTE (yoncopin @ Apr 11 2017, 09:29 PM) What's the replacement going to be?

This is the effect of the new cites rule that was annaunced sometime ago https://reverb.com/news/new-cites-regulatio...osewood-species Likely Maple only, atleast for a while. Gibson tried baked maple that looked like rosewood a few years ago but the market didn't respond well to it, I guess thats why guitar makers don't feel ready to try new material yet.

I just prefer it's look and sound to rosewood. Sadly, all my ibbys are rosewood!

I hate veneer used on maple fretboard but they seem to abandone it slowly. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
