African Blackwood Acoustic Guitar Back & Sides Set

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 at one end. There is still 21 1/2" of clear set, so it shouldn't interfere with the making the guitar. 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.
