As we burn through the worlds resources and things become unavailable, the use of alternative materials will become more and more prevalent. Martin and Taylor are resourceful companies and I admire their pioneering new and innovative techniques and materials. The roomies guitar kit from Martin comes with a Richlite fretboard and bridge. While I might prefer ebony or rosewood as a material, for a amateur kit-building project..... it's fine with me. Look for striped and irregular ebony from Taylor in the future too. I actually think the Stratabond Laminate looks kinda cool..... it has great lines......
