European Walnut

The European Walnut is a super beautiful wood in every way. Aesthetically, it has a range of beautiful browns and open grains that guarantee a natural high-level finish.

This wood species goes in the heavy wood range, although it is not as hard as the Maple. The sound of the Walnut is similar to the Maple, but without having clearly marked the highest frequencies, and it guarantes a solid mid-range crystalline. It is a wood easy to work, perfect to make backs for acoustic guitar.
