Yep. I started a thread about these fret boards in the Wood & Materials portion of the forum, asking about them.

Please put my name in also.
I need your help. I can't possibly make all the mistakes myself!

I'll try adding to my string of losses.
Maybe I can't fix it, but I can fix it so no one can fix it

Not related to the give-away, but I recently re-fretted a Martin with a Richlite fingerboard and was very impressed by it. The old frets pulled out easily with zero chipping. The fingerboard sanded well. The new frets went in with no issues. It looks just like ebony and seems to be resistant to wear. It reportedly glues well with epoxy or PVA. What's not to like, other than the cost.
