    I like plain and simple fretboards, no distracting patterns to confuse the eyes. You've already got slanted frets. Which only really rules out the zebrano for me. Being mainly traditional, I'd go for the wenge.

    Yeah, that was the way I was leaning, it’s just that the grain on the Wenge slab isn’t all that parallel. It wanders a fair bit.
    Still, it’s probably the best option.
    I’m thinking that both the Zebrano and the NG Rosewood might look better on a plain maple neck. Lord alone knows what I’m going to do with that slab of Purple Heart.
