Malaysian Blackwood Back and Sides

Malaysian Blackwood
Diospyros ebonasea 
 
A premium, dense hardwood from Southeast Asia that is actually a true member of the ebony family. It is highly prized by luthiers and woodworkers for its dramatic "spiderweb" grain patterns and exceptional acoustic properties, often being compared to legendary tonewoods like Brazilian Rosewood. Pieces are over thickness and large enough to make a up to a J200 jumbo sized acoustic guitar.
