Brazilian Rosewood

Brazilian Rosewood

Brazilian Rosewood is considered by many to be the ultimate guitar tone wood. We currently have an excellent selection of beautiful Brazilian Rosewood guitars from Bourgeois guitars and Santa Cruz guitars. Brazilian has an amazing tonal reflectivity and clarity and balance across the frequency spectrum. It is highly resonant giving guitars what we call bone tone. Sometimes described as a high velocity of sound, Brazilian Rosewood is responsive and complements all top woods perfectly. Many people claim that other woods are similar, but none compare in the excellent quality of this wood for guitar building. Brazilian Rosewood has been banned from import since the 1990s and the stock of wood that is available in the USA to build with has been dwindling for years. This rarity contributes to its value especially because it is so highly sought after for the finest instruments.
