Malaysian Blackwood + Sapelli Plywood Classical Guitar Sides

Overview Malaysian Blackwood + Sapele Plywood Classical Guitar Sides:

Impressive, and very similar -according to many builders- in aesthetic and acoustic qualities to the mythical Brazilian Rosewood, with the Malaysian Blackwood + Sapelli Plywood Classical Guitar Sides you can build a guitar that looks the same for much less. As all the sides of the category, they are made of 3 pieces, the outside of malaysian blackwood, an intermediate piece of okume and the inner side of sapele.

Laminated wood pieces possess some qualities superior to solid woods: great stability and rigidity, as well as being virtually immune to cracking due to their structure and construction. And they do not have to detract from the sound of solid pieces, either. There are many builders today who opt for laminated sides or backs for these and other reasons. Not to mention their economical price, compared to the same solid wood piece. For a fraction of the price of a solid wood piece, you can enjoy spectacularly beautiful woods such as ziricote or pale moon ebony.

The only precaution to be taken with plywood products is the sanding: since they are made up of two outer veneers of 0.5-0.7 mm, excessive sanding could end up showing the intermediate veneer. This is not a problem if we work with high grit sandpaper and due care.

As with all our laminated pieces, the backdrops are glued in our facilities with formaldehyde-free glues that have passed strict technical controls.
