I have a Taylor guitar with a eucalyptus fingerboard. I've had it for a few months and I like how fast it is, like maple or ebony. But it isn't really all that smooth when bending strings. I play elixers/Daddarios usually 10s but just got some Daddario Super Light 9s. They were actually hard to find even on their website but they do make them.

Anyway, does anyone else have any info or input on eucalyptus as a fretboard material? I'm hoping the surface will break in and smooth out. I've F-One oiled it, but I only have a couple of hours play time the guitar and was hoping one of you might know something.

It's the Walnut/Spruce AD12e. Sounds and looks amazing. Has perfect intonation, but I wish the board was ebony.

Kelly Valleau was born and raised in Belleville, Ontario and started playing guitar at 15. He was in a hard rock band at 17, got ripped off by a club owner when he was 19, and by age 21 Kelly had hung up the electric guitar gone back to the nylon string acoustic guitar .. at this time he must be regarded as one of the premier fingerpicking guitarists of all time.
