My standard wood for backs and sides is Indian rosewood, and it makes a wonderful sounding and looking guitar. But I have dozens of other equally fine hardwoods in stock, from African Blackwood mahogany to Zircote. Again, the differences are like flavors of ice cream, and some very tasty combinations are possible!

Below are some of the woods I have available for backs and sides. Many other woods are available - please see the More Woods (No Frames) or More Woods (Frames) pages for some of the available choices, with prices listed. Any additional charges will be determined according to market value of the wood at the time of order.
