African Blackwood

Part of the Ebony family of woods, this extremely premium tonewood provides unbelievable articulation and clarity as well as a providing a glassy smooth playing experience. It’s a perfect tonal match for the guitar’s resonant and well-balanced Pine body and adds to the instrument’s illustrious array of harmonic sustain and overtones.

It provides the player with the most easiest transition to the higher register of the fingerboard while remaining comfortable in the first position for big open extended chord voicings.
