What We Think
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: The frets as they arrived were deemed to need only a minor cleanup. A polish was performed on the frets and fingerboard bringing the fretboard to pristine condition! A portion of the frets were not level with each other requiring them to be leveled, recrowned, and polished into near mint condition. The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. No further work was required.
Manufacturer's Description from Other
Padauk is a tropical hardwood known for its vibrant and striking appearance, as well as its potential as a tonewood for guitars. Although it is not as widely used as traditional tonewoods like mahogany or rosewood, padauk offers unique tonal qualities and visual appeal that make it an interesting choice for guitar construction. On the aesthetics side, Padauk is visually striking. Its vibrant color and often interlocking grain pattern can make for stunning guitars.
In terms of sound, Padauk is typically associated with bright, projecting midrange and a clear, balanced tone. It has similar density and hardness to Rosewood, which is another popular choice for guitar tonewood. The hardness of Padauk lends itself to a good sustain and crisp articulation, making it suitable for various styles of play, from fingerstyle to strumming.
When used in guitar bodies, Padauk can provide a nice balance of warmth and brightness, with the midrange slightly pronounced. For the back and sides of an acoustic guitar, Padauk can enhance the instrument’s resonance and overall projection.
Regarding the Redwood top, one of the key attributes of redwood is its responsiveness. It has a relatively low stiffness-to-weight ratio, allowing it to vibrate more easily and respond quickly to the player’s touch. This responsiveness enhances the guitar’s dynamic range, enabling it to produce a wide spectrum of tones from delicate and nuanced finger-picking to powerful strumming. This particular top is from reclaimed redwood.
