That Jatoba looks AWESOME! Thanks for the photos! That crack is very bad and I would send that BACK! But I love that Rosewood-like look and shiny oily feel! Hope they start using Jatoba on ALL guitars with dark fretbaords so I can again start to consider buying them I have once bought 8 guitars and only one was good and I still have that one, the ST-62MN. Shame for that crack really!

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

Ok so Jatoba not the best board material Not sure I will be getting any more HB guitars unless they issue a Tele with stainless steel frets on maple or Ebony fretboard.

Don't think the problem is jatoba! More like bad workmanship, poor QC at the factory end. That fingerboard should never have been used. Seriously that looks nothing like the jatoba fret board on my SC550 which is smooth as a baby's bum and not a flaw in sight. All timbers can have bad flaws but those are usually rejected prior to use.

It's QC at fault at the factory, when you get a cube of timber there will always be a small percentage that is defective. This is usually used for things that are not seen or discarded altogether. It looks as tho that is a bad batch of CST's. That said Thomann need to get a grip of it. And to be honest if it got out the factory in that state it shouldn't have got through Thomann's facility.
