CHECHEN I made a very successful FT-15 from Chechen a few years ago, and it took me a while to find more of it, but I have it now. This is one of the harder wood to be found that is not an Ebony. This wood is also called Black Poison Wood because nothing grows near it. $450 set 4 |
The best tap tone of any Ebony, and great guitar wood. Malaysian Blackwood #5 $900 set 5 |

This alleged Honduras Mahogany is the most exciting I've seen in. . .forever? I think it is H. Mah., but it is unusually fine grained and dense in addition to being stunningly figured. It has a blistered quality that won't show up well till varnished. A spec build is pictured, I have another. Set 25- $850 |
Perfectly un-quartered BRW! set 26 - $4000 |
This is the inside, both cracks are outside a 000 template set 27 - $6000 |

set 29 Unique character, I look forward to seeing this guitar. $5000 |
Great set $5000 |
| Pernambuco.
I have 2 qualities of it. One is super hard but has serious degrade.
The other less hard but still very good, and of great structural
quality as well as very pretty. I believe this material produces the
best guitar possible. $2500 The first box to the right is both materials. The second box is a guitar from the harder material. The 3rd box from the prettier. I have made 3 successful guitars from it so far! |
