In fairness to Fender they have been quite open about it's use, and the whole purpose of CITES is to reduce demand and exploitation.
I've owned Musicman basses with Pau Ferro fingerboards - the frets stayed in, they looked and sounded great.
Lots of high-end builders use it so there’s nothing wrong with it per se. Gibson is even using it as an option on their 60th Anniversary 59 Les Paul reissues, but marketing it as “Bolivian Rosewood”. If those cork-sniffers are cool with that then I’d say it’s fine... :-p
A lot of it seems very pale and red-ish which not a great look for me but may suit you.
can't post pics, Imgur just ain't playing today
The X series guitars were the precursors to the S2s- the non-traditional woods were part of the whole "USA PRS for sensible money" design ethic. The rest of the guitar is limba, which I understand is the same thing as korina, and it's liiiiight.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
