Mexican Granadillo

The Mexican Granadillo is one of the best alternatives that luthiers have to replace the Rosewood. In addition, the Mexican Granadillo has the ideal properties to make acoustic guitar fingerboards: density and resistance to withstand the tension produced by the strings.

Acoustically, the Mexican Granadillo presents a great tonal quality and reflects a neat sound. All these properties are what are increasing its demand in the musical instruments industry and they make it a wood full of possibilities for the acoustic guitar.
