Malaysian Blackwood Classical / Acoustic Guitar Single Back

Overview Malaysian Blackwood Classical / Acoustic Guitar Single Back:

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.

Single backs are commonly used for the production of inserts, pickguards, bindings, guitar headstocks, decorations or for 3-piece backs. They are an inexpensive option for repairs and also for small adjustments to our instruments.  In addition, they are also widely used for practice or test bending, drying, sanding or finishing.
