The headstock on the current model may be different to the one shown in this review, and there may be other changes:-
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
This is nothing new. Where you see "Roseacer" being specified for fretboards it is usually one of the softer maple varieties that has been roasted and dyed and possibly also had other stuff pressure injected. For years Martin has been fitting composite "Richlite" fretboards and other companies use "Rocklite" (Gibson?), or any number of names like "Eco Rosewood", "Resinator" (Hagstrom), "Micarta" (Sigma), etc, etc.
I would far rather have an good slab of an alternative dense smooth wood like Pau Ferro, Jatoba, Amaranth, African Blackwood, Ovankol, etc, or even the good composites like Micarta, than a substandard heavily pitted slab of Rosewood.
Also lol at your very funny OP I think you pretty much have run through what everyone wonders before they order their first HB (I haven't cracked just yet, but I'm getting closer all the time!)
I think in Germany they have free postage on returns even if you don't like them, but yeah I think you're right, paying to return is probably not really worth it. At least with the very cheap stuff.
If you've been told you're recieving more than 1 box, they might not have done the best of setups.
