Malaysian Blackwood Acoustic / Classical Guitar Symmetrical Headplate

Overview Malaysian Blackwood Acoustic / Classical Guitar Symmetrical Headplate:

Malaysian Blackwood is a premium tonewood that is well suited for all guitar types. Denser than most Dalbergias, its glassy, sustained tone is often compared to that of African blackwood. However, it is slightly less brittle and, unlike the former, most sets have attractive dark streaks (called landscape or spiderwebbing), similar to those found in ziricote or cocobolo to name a few examples. The colouring ranges from an intense brown with reddish tones to a greyish green with many shades, crossed by dark lines that provide heterogeneity and appeal to the piece. In addition, in some cases there will also be a light pinkish colour coming from the centre of the trunk.

Symmetrical headstocks have a special appeal, perhaps because they resemble the design of tops and backs. In those cases where we want the wood of the guitar headstock to match the wood used in the back and sides, they will undoubtedly be a fantastic option.
