Guitar Players - I have a question electric guitars

I’m buying a Gibson Les Paul Studio and need some opinions on the following. What do you prefer if any?
Specially interested in the sound of the Richlite material VS Wood for the Fretboard.
I don't play at all.

Fretboard Material
1. Ebony
2. Rosewood
3. Richlite Fretboad

Pickups
1.) 490R & 498T Pickups
2.) 57 Classic & Super 57 Pickups
3.) Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Humbucker Pickups
4.) or your favorite style of pickups

Ok


I own a few guitars (26 in the house currently) and among them is a 2007 Custom Shop LP Custom.

For me. Ebony is my favourite fretboard material next to maple. I much prefer the 490R 498T set as in my custom. The bridge has a mid range kick and there is a contrast to more restrained neck.

If I were you I'd look for an ebony board 490R 498T fitted one.
