More Tonewood Species

The modern era of acoustic guitar making is defined by an unprecedented variety of tonewoods, from exotic African Blackwood and Cocobolo to sustainable Sapele and Indian Laurel.

This proliferation reflects a blend of necessity—driven by environmental and regulatory shifts—and creativity, as luthiers and players embrace new tonal and aesthetic possibilities. The result is a richer, more diverse landscape of acoustic guitars, offering players an array of instruments that balance tradition, innovation, and sustainability.

If you’d like to dive deeper into this ever changing world of tonewoods, look no further! Below are in-stock sets, but there is much more that has yet to be re-sawn into finished sets. So check back often for beautiful and unique options.
