Amazon / Brazilian Rosewood, Rare Hybrid Species / BACK & SIDES SET / 1983 / EXOTIC BROWN / Guitar For Sale

  • For sale an Old Growth Amazon Rosewood, which is in fact a VERY RARE Hybrid species of Amazon with Brazilian rosewood Acoustic guitar set of back & sides.
  • The grain shows the Mega rare narrow dense line pattern which is called by the connoisseurs " Spider Webs". You may observe it along the sides and the center of the back.
  • This pattern occurs to the very Old Growth trees and it is very sought after by the collectors for its sound and stability.

The Brazilian authorities while making their inspection for BRW in our warehouse in the realy 1990s, they tested it in their labs and found the true nature of this species. Hence they issued a CITES passport that if we wish can follow this wood. So, I provide it and it is up to you to use it.

This is a very rare 75% quartersawn set which has been milled in the mid 80s and naturally air dried since then. More than 35 years!!!

Very sought after by high end collectors and connoisseurs!!!

The sound of this species is extremely similar to the pure Brazilian rosewood but more pronounced and louder. Also its stability is way better than the BRW, because it is denser. Really amazing tonewood!!!

I have taken pictures during day time, indoors and outdoors ( full sunlight ) so you may see better the colors and the grain. I did not use any flash light to alter the colors. The color and the grain speak by themselves.

However, due to the long seasoning the surface is a bit blur and after the first sanding all the grain will come up at least 50% more intense.

It comes together with its unique CITES document ( CITES PASSPORT FOR FREE INTERNATIONAL TRANSIT ) as it can be seen in the pictures. For the last 20 years, every Brazilian Rosewood component that I sell always comes with its own individual CITES doc as that being the only way to prove the legallity and the authenticity of our wood. We supply the same documents to Don Grosh (US), John Suhr (US), Warrior (US), Maton (AUS), Melville (AUS), Paul Richards (UK), Driskill (US ), and to many other boutique luthiers and individual collectors.

The sides and the back are clean. Please see the pictures. There are no issues, such as worm holes ...etc. Please read my description below. Very Clean!!!

 Absolutely top quality and extremely sonorous.

The set can be used for the back & sides of an acoustic guitar such as Dreadnaught, Grand Concert, Classical, Flamenco, OM type. However, please before commiting yourselves to buy it check the dimensions below if they are suitable for your project. If you do have a mold, then compare yours with mine. Each luthier uses his own molds and designs so it is practically impossible for me to know every buyer's requirement. This also applies to the width of the sides. Hence, I cannot be responsible for any error associated with the size. In case you have any doubts please ask me before buying it. I have marked the backs with my own mold and the dimensions listed below are taken from the markings. All the excess wood ( top, bottom and sides ) can be added to those dimensions.

The dimensions are :

The wood is already planed so minimum sanding is required.

Back ( each piece ) - Length 50 cm - Width ( low bout ) 19.4 cm , ( upper bout) 14.8 cm - Thickess 4 mm.

Sides ( each piece ) - Length 80.6 cm - Width ( wide side ) 11.6 cm , Width ( narrow side ) 10.2 cm- Thickness :   3.5 mm

I hope my description is as accurate as possible. Please see the pictures and feel free to ask me any question.

Also, please ask me if you need other Brazilian rosewood or Amazon rosewood parts. No returns. Sale is final.
