Our standard sizes are 530 x 70/60 x 9mm, 700 x 70/60 x 9mm which are always readily available from us.
The most common woods for fretboards on acoustic guitars are rosewood and ebony which is common on electric guitars too. The material of the fretboard is mostly about playability and durability.
The fretboard’s material needs to be easy for the fingers to smoothly run along and also dense enough so that it isn’t  easily damaged by the strings.
That density also plays a part sound-wise. The denser the wood on the fretboard the less the tone that will be absorbed into it meaning more of the sound makes it into the soundboard.
