For our traditional series guitars we have opted to go with Indian Rosewood and African Mahogany. Indian Rosewood is often considered the king of tone woods. It has a strong reputation for being one of the very best back and side materials used for guitar making throughout history. Its tonal profile offers extends from clear trebles all the way through to bold basses with a slightly scooped mid-range. It’s a reliable tone wood with a reliable sound and it is steeped in history given can fingerpick it, strum it and flatpick it.
Mahogany has probably been recognised as one of the most historically popular tone woods, and with good reason! For many decades and has been used in guitar making and has featured on a myriad of acoustic recordings that span across many musical genres. As a tonewood it has a strong fundamental focus often described as “punchy,” “woody,” or “dry,” because it doesn’t produce a lot of ringing overtones.
Our guitars within the Traditional series can be paired with a variety of soundboard materials which undergo the same hands-on approach to individually thickness and carve internal braces to voice each of the guitars made. Through this process we are able to highlight the very best of the pairing between the soundboard, back and side material and the body size within our range.
For this series we have opted to use only the very best soundboard material available and have sort out master grade Sitka Spruce and Lutz Spruce.
