Sound Pure's Take

Inviting warmth coupled with dramatic note separation make this one a sweet stunner. Close your eyes and you'll think there's more than one guitar being played. The orange hue of the cedar contrasts wonderfully with the koa binding. The rosewood is striped like a tiger and it adds the perfect amount of bite. The overtones stack as perfectly as the colors in a rainbow.

Top: Redwood

Back and Sides: East Indian Rosewood

Redwood is similar to Cedar, warm, rich, and complex. It exhibits a slightly darker tone with less pronounced bass and more headroom than Cedar.

East Indian Rosewood offers a deeply resonant tone. Rich complex low ends, and strong mids and highs make this a great all-around choice for back and sides
