Mexican Granadillo

Mexican Granadillo is one of the most chosen woods in order to replace Rosewood, specially in fingerboards. But with any doubt, Mexican Granadillo is also a good option for headplates thanks to its hardness and tonal quality.

The high quality and appearance of this wood are both very valued by luthiers, and the use of this tonewood in classic guitar construction has hugely increased. Check all the properties of Mexican Granadillo with these headplates of Maderas Barber.
