Brazilian Rosewood Back + Side Set - 056
The most coveted tonewood in the world
Opportunities to commercially acquire old-growth Brazilian Rosewood in this day and age are exceptionally rare. These sets represent a small, carefully sourced collection of authentic Dalbergia nigra that has been held and preserved for decades for fine instrument building.
Brazilian Rosewood has long been considered the benchmark against which all other tonewoods are measured. With commercial logging halted decades ago and international trade tightly regulated, high-quality guitar sets suitable for serious builds are increasingly difficult to obtain.
Each set we offer has been individually evaluated, matched, and prepared for builders who understand exactly what this material represents. Availability is extremely limited, and once these sets are gone, we do not expect additional inventory in the foreseeable future.

Brazilian Rosewood, Dalbergia nigra
Many builders and players maintain that there is no substitute for authentic Brazilian Rosewood. The dynamic tone, ringing sustain, and unmistakable visual character are simply distinct.
The holy grail of tonewoods
Brazilian Rosewood has earned its reputation over generations of fine instrument making. The preferred tonewood of Pre-war Martins and Golden Era Gibsons, each note blooms with clarity, power, and remarkable sustain. Visually, it is equally compelling. Dramatic black grainlines range from intricate spider-webbing to long, elegant waves. Every set tells its own story in the grain.
