Description:

Top: Port Orford Cedar

Back and Sides: Monterey Cypress

Despite its name, Port Orford Cedar is a member of the cypress family and not a true cedar. It falls tonally between spruce and cedar, leaning toward a warm spruce top in sound and stiffness.

Traditionally used for flamenco and classical guitars, Monterey Cypress is a very light and expressive wood.
