Can the morado fingerboard be ordered on higher end models like the GN or TN series?

Definitely would advise against using YouTube as a reference point. Simply not an accurate representatation of what your sound would be, with you playing, through your rig.

Years ago it was what we used most mainly for the lack of good quality reliable ebony. Once we found a reliable supply, we started making them both ways with either FB before switching to Ebony as the standard for those models. All you have to do is Ask and we will make it with Morado.
