African Blackwood Acoustic Guitar Back & Sides Set
Dalbergia melanoxylon
The heartwood is purplish to brownish-black with dark gray streaks giving an overall impression of being black. Lustrous with an attractive inner chatoyance. Very hard, heavy, close-grained, and virtually free from pores. Its stability and lovely tonal qualities make it an excellent instrument wood.
Due to CITES regulations, we can only ship this species to customers in the United States.
The backs of this set have a slight defect near the center of the book match. It is also not very big so could be filled with a mix of Blackwood dust and CA glue with little indication that it was ever there. This would only be a problem if you want to use the sapwood at the inside of the book match. If you use the other edges as the book match, the small defect shouldn't even come into to play.
