Tigerstripe Ebony proves that in our quest for beautiful and excellent-sounding woods, adhering to age-old tradition is not always a necessity. Only a small amount of ebony trees possess wood with the famous jet-black appearance. However, the stunning and unique marbling ranging from light brown to off-white colors that is found in the heartwood of most ebony trees, has been ignored for a long time.
At Warwick and Framus we've recognized the true potential of Tigerstripe Ebony as early as the year 2000, and subsequently succeeded in establishing it in the market. The beautiful wood species, which we purchase from FSC-certified sources only, not only impresses with its beautiful marbling, but also possesses the same stability and tonal properties as the famous jet-black ebony type. Thanks to our use of Tigerstripe Ebony for our fretboards, we not only guarantee that each of our bass guitars becomes a beautiful one-of-a-kind instrument, but also contribute to the preservation of the population of ebony trees world-wide. Sometimes it is for the best to think outside the box and to choose not to follow long-established traditions blindly, of which our success is excellent proof!
