AT THE SIDE THERE ARE SOME SAMPLES OF MY FAVOURITE CHOICE OF TONE WOODS. ALTHOUGH A GUITAR OR OTHER INSTRUMENT CAN BE MADE OF ANY APPROPRIATE WOOD. THE INDIAN ROSE WOOD IS USED FOR BACKS. SIDES, FINGERBOARDS AND BRIDGES. AND IS A VERY GOOD CHOICE FOR ANY INSTRUMENT.
THE BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD IS USED PRETTY MUCH THE SAME WAY AS THE INDIAN BUT IS ALMOST EXTINCT AND VERY EXPENSIVE.
THE EBONY IS MOSTLY USED FOR FINGERBOARDS AND BRIDGES AS IT SO HARD AND DURABLE. IT IS ALSO A GREAT WOOD FOR INLAY.
WALNUT IS A GREAT CHOICE FOR BACKS AND SIDES. BECAUSE IT IS SOFTER THAN THE ROSEWOODS IT GIVES A MELLOW SOUNDING GUITAR.
THE MAHOGANY IS MOSTLY USED FOR NECKS BECAUSE OF ITS WIGHT TO STRENGTH RATIO BUT I ALSO USE IT FOR BACKS AND SIDES SOMETIMES.
LIME IS USED FOR INTERIOR BLOCKS AND LININGS.
SITKA SPRUCE IS ARGUABLY THE BEST SOUND BOARD MATERIAL AROUND. I LOVE THE STUFF.
