Australian Pink Gidgee fretboard for bass

Minimum Dimensions - 76mm x 7.5mm x 660mm (2 9/16" x 9/32" x 26")

PINK GIDGEE (Acacia Crombiei)

These timbers are Australian desert hardwoods, due to the arid conditions they grow in they have very little moisture content even when first milled, making a very stable material after normal air-drying.

The colour of Pink Gidgee is a greenish brown when first sanded, but it oxidises to a purplish pink colour. Gidgee is extremely hard with a close tight grain and polishes easily to a semi gloss type sheen using fine sand papers and steel wool.

They make an excellent Australian alternative for fretboards, bridges and tailpieces where Ebony has traditionally been used.
