Malaysian Blackwood

As it happens with all Ebony types, Malaysian Blackwood or Green Ebony is a high density wood type so it has a great ability to reflect the acoustic box sound as just a few wood are able to do.

This wood also offers a particular beauty with green olive tones that makes any instrument special. Maderas Barber bets for those gorgeous woods who offer great quality sound too, that’s the reason we offer you these Green Ebony sides for quality acoustic guitars.
