Malaysian blackwood is a wonderful tonewood, promising to produce one of the best sounding guitars you will ever hear. There are two varieties, a red (as pictured) and a green (somewhat resembling ziricote). This shares similar properties to African blackwood, but is more readily available. Some say that this wood makes an even better sounding guitar than the old Brazilian (which is no longer exportable). |
