Most people prefer the feel of a wood FB. Plus it adds a proper look to the instrument. It's a matter of preference I suppose. Some mandolin purists would never buy a cf mandolin. Some have even suggested I paint mine to hide the cf. My fretboards are epoxied to the neck and will never distort due to humidity or lack there of. I cant imagine having to fret a cf fretboard. CF is very brittle and would be a nightmare to fret. A nightmare I don't want.
