Brazilian Rosewood Classical Guitar Fingerboard

Overview Brazilian Rosewood Classical Guitar Fingerboard:

In every list there is always a first place. In the case of tonewoods, that place is reserved for those materials that combine all the ideal qualities that the best wood for instruments should have: exceptional acoustic properties, beauty, ease of work, durability... All that and more is what the Brazilian Rosewood offers. A name that evokes other times and reminds us of the best creations of the luthiers whose names have endured: Torres, Hauser, Romanillos, Fleta, Smallman...

The Dalbergia Nigra, botanical name of the Brazilian Rosewood, is a wood of great beauty, with a brown color that goes from light with very marked streaks to a deep chocolate color, almost black. The long black stripes that often appear add even more to its striking appearance, and its workability is excellent. And all that is purely the visual aspect: as for its acoustic possibilities, all reputable builders agree in unanimously considering it the "Holy Grail" of tonewoods. It is a wood reserved for the best instruments, those that remain in the imagination.

Fretboards are an integral part of the classical guitar, whether it be for their mechanical or aesthetic functions. The fingerboard has to withstand both the constant friction of the wound strings and the player's fingernails, so a hardwood with natural oils providing a certain amount of lubrication is ideal. And visually, the fingerboard is, together with the soundboard, the frontal part of the instrument. It has to be visually appealing, and in this regard the Brazilian Rosewood is also outstanding.
