Section: The Wood

The Standard Woods used in the crafting of your custom guitar include:

Mahogany
Mahogany is a reddish-brown hardwood with a medium grain. A wood with an exceptional when chosen for proper density and integrity. Adds snap and sparkle to the instrument. A definite advantage in a traditionally boomy dreadnought. Mahogany has been underappreciated because of its historical use in simpler, and therefore less expensive, guitars.

Indian Rosewood
Indian Rosewood keeps the guitar at the warm dark end of the tonal spectrum and has a rich and elegant appearance.

Maple
Maple gives a guitar a bright precise tone that is very distinct from guitars built using Rosewood.

A large variety of other wood upgrade options are available and are unique in their characteristics. We will be happy to discuss the possibilities and variety of wood choices before building your guitar. Contact us through The Workshop with any questions you may have.
