Members Radar-Love Posted October 25, 2008 Members Share Posted October 25, 2008 The other thing I've noticed about ebony is that it kinda smells. I dunno, but after playing guitars with ebony fretboards my fingers just smell a bit weird. Ever see those National Geographic films showing elephants rubbing their butts up against ebony trees? There's your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brewski Posted October 25, 2008 Members Share Posted October 25, 2008 I react to the Nickel in the strings and that's what turns my fingers black regarldess of what guitar/fret board I'm playing. it only started a few years ago, may be the newer strings have a different metal mixture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
