Victory Island Cypress

This yet not so much known wood produces a light and articulated tone and gives a good sustain to the luthier that works with it. It’s a stable and resistant wood with little chances to break or deform.

 

Acoustically, Victory Island Cypress has very similar qualities to guitar tops. Besides, it offers a very good price-quality relationship: find more at Maderas Barber.
