Woods

An alternate wood choice is my most commonly requested option. Using different woods can have a dramatic effect on both the tone and the look of a guitar.

From Adirondack to Ziricote, I stock a wide variety of traditional and alternative woods.

Choosing the best wood for a particular guitar will depend on many factors including the size of the guitar and the desired tonal and visual character. Careful consideration of the many factors is required in order to make the correct choice. This is usually the most discussed aspect of a custom guitar.
