Okume

Okume wood is more known in plywood products, but it’s increasingly being more used by luthiers because it is a wood with a great sound projection.

Its proprieties are huge: it’s balanced, light, very stable and strong, but malleable. What will also surprise you about this wood is that it is very pleasant to touch and it has a different appearance with a satin finish.

Discover Okume wood in Maderas Barber and take advantage of its properties building a different and unique neck for your classic guitar.
