MALAYSIAN BLACKWOOD
Diospyros ebonasea
This wood was a big hit at the last Guild of American Luthiers Convention (2004) in Tacoma. Several guitars of this beautiful wood were played at the classic guitar listening event, and they were "wowsers."
There are two variants. One is dark-reddish brown to black, and the other is greenish with brown streaks, similar to Macassar ebony (Diospyros celebica) A few on the list that have used the wood: George Smith, Bruce Petros, Steve and John Kinnaird, Michael Greenwood, Tom Blackshear, and Sakurai Kohno who uses it regularly. Similar in properties to African blackwood in many respects including density, tonal quality and workability, all sets are nicely matched, dried and sanded.
Through the end of 2004 we're offering an introductory price of 1 set for the 3 or more price. Give it a try, we think you'll like it.
