I use a variety of tonewoods, selected to suit the player and the instrument. Most commonly South American and Indian Rosewoods, Birds-eye and figured Maple, Walnut, Mahogany etc.. for Back and sides and European and Sitka Spruce, and Cedar for soundboards. Whatever is chosen I use the best quality I can find and balance each part with the other. Find out more about the materials used and how tone is affected here. View some construction details here. |
