Black Limba Sides for Acoustic Guitar, exotic Sides for different and unique tastes.

The Limba is a timber known as a "deluxe Mahogany", because its sound is highly similar to Mahogany, but with a sweeter range of media sounds and with a much greater response. The Limba is a warm, resonant and balanced wood. It also produces great clarity, definition and sustain.

As an anecdote, some of the most popular guitars in history are made of this wood, a very hard and stable wood. For example, Fender has chosen Limba to give a breath of fresh air to its timeless Telecaster. Furthermore, the Limba was also used to make guitars as Gibson Explorer and Flying V.
