Victory Island Cypress

The Victory Island Cypress is not one of the most used woods in the lutherie history, but it has gained its space thanks to its clear and articulated tone and thanks to its good sustain.

 

This is a very stable type of cypress, so it has a little chance to crack and to deform. In addition, it has similar acoustic properties that are needed in the instruments covers.

 

Victory Island Cypress backs from Maderas Barber are a very economical option recommended for your acoustic guitar because of its sound and its great relationship between quality-price.
