Just noticed that I wrote "Palisander" for fretboard material.

In English this should be rosewood  (at least this is what the online dictionary says (-;  )
Or is whe word "palisander" also commonly used?

Anyways, today I take the guitar to my favourite luthier and let him exchange the standard
nut with a bone nut (Argentinian cattle bone - uncooked) like it was also
done on my Gibson.

Palissandre (palisander) is the official word in French, though rosewood is commonly used by guitarists...

...by the way, I really, really would like to know why it is called 'Rosewood' as it certainly has nothing to do with roses!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosewood

search term 'etymology rosewood palisander'-the first hit shows us the great useless human pasttime of griping about nothing....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rosewood

nowhere do i find a discussion of the history of the word; palisades/palisander are closely letter related. in the middle ages, palisades were used to block out walls for fortresses. perhaps??? palisander trees were those primarily used in palisades..due to longevity in the ground or easy working or simply supply???  'rosewood', as a term, likely refers to the reddish hue of the polished wood.  take a guess...appears that everyone else with an opinion online is...:)

more questions than answers...misnomers abound.

Just did some research...
According to french etymologies, the word 'palissandre' in French appeared during the XVIIIth century and came from Netherlands (dutch 'Palissander' ) who imported it from an aboriginal language of Guyana (where most of this wood came from at that time)

'Rosewood' seems to relate to the (pleasant) odor that these woods can carry through the years...

Just tried my guitar's neck : doesn't smell anything like roses :P
