Bubinga neck and Kingswood fretboard?

[marianoarnaiz]

Hello everyone. I am hesitating a bit about my next build.

I am building a Walnut (top) on Alder (back) carved top soloist with a Bubinga neck but I am rather confused about the fretboard, I was going for a black ebony frertboard, then pauferro, then rosewood, and now I am tempted to go for kingswood. Is the last thing I need to decide before ordering. Can you guys give me some advice?

Thanks!

Some Kingwood has a lot of reds, and other Kingwood has a lot of purples. Keep that in mind so that the hues in the other woods don't end up clashing.

Fretboard wood is far down the list of things that affect tone. Fretboard wood is typically selected based on look and feel.
