- Dimensions:Â Â (800x110x3,5 mm)x2
- Botanical Name:Â Terminalia superba
- Origin:Â Central Africa
- Density:Â 600 kg/m3
- Quality:Â These pieces are not classified by qualities and are included within a medium standard of quality, in other words, when we select them we reject the cracked pieces, with serious defects, or broken or useless ones. Therefore, we will always find good pieces that can have some slight defect, nice pieces, or pieces less attractive, always taking in account variations in colour or growth rings that each wood specie may have.
We are very careful when we select the Classic guitar sides because of knots, depending on where they are they can crack the sides during bending process.
We also have to take care when working with sides that are not quarter as they can crack easily during bending process. Despite all this, as with the exotic backs we can find flat cut sides, those would be perfect for these backs.
Black Limba Sides for Classic Guitar are a very good option for those who want a touch of quality in your guitar. The characteristics of this wood are very similar to Mahogany, but its density and light weight make the Black Limba a perfect choice.
Some of the most valuable guitars in history are made of Black Limba, a super hardwood and with special acoustics. Without going any further, Fender has chosen this wood to give a fresh blow to a timeless Telecaster.
