AAA Cypres Natural Dry 20 Years Classical Guitar Set

AAA Cypres Natural Dry 20 Years Classical Guitar Set

Set composed of cypress backs and sides to build a classical guitar.

This wood has been naturally dried for over 20 years, a process that greatly improves its dimensional and structural stability and its acoustic properties. The slow and even loss of moisture minimizes the risk of warping and results in a richer, clearer, and more balanced sound response. Its structure becomes lighter and more resonant, enhancing a bright, warm tone with greater projection. Over time, the wood also gains a unique beauty and maturity, highly appreciated by demanding luthiers and musicians.

Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) is a lightweight and durable wood, highly valued for its bright, dry, and percussive tone, ideal for crafting flamenco guitars. Easy to glue and work with, it also offers a pleasant feel and a quick response. It is the preferred choice for the famous blanca guitars, while also adding a distinctive character to classical guitars. Its light color gradually develops into warmer shades, and its distinctive aroma brings a unique aesthetic and sensory appeal to each instrument.

In the AAA category, you will find woods with straight grain, radial cuts, and clean zones, free of defects in the areas intended for backs and sides. Selected for high-end instruments, designed for the most demanding performers.
