• Madagascar Rosewood Carved Top for Electric Guitar and Bass is a very good option for those who want to beautify their Guitar Body with a medium thickness (16 mm), perfect to carve and shape the Guitar Body Top and thus recreate the great Carved Tops designs. On the other hand, it allows an easier carving than the thicker ones, reducing the weight of the instrument and of course spending less money, having at the end a great guitar.
   
  As for the Madagascar Rosewood, it is a brown wood which darkens during drying. It has an average texture and it is a stable fast-drying wood. Its fiber can be straight or interlaced, the grain is medium and black stripes that can produce a figure known as "spider webbing" are very common. Without any doubt, it is necessary to remark the special sound produced by this wood on Electric Guitars and Basses, and that it has replaced Brazilian Rosewood, a wood that stopped being sold. The drying rate is slow and because of its fragility it requires the use of powerful equipments.
