Blackwood Laminate
Used On: Limited Editions
Blackwood is part of the Acacia species and often bears a resemblance to Hawaiian koa, also a member of the Acacia family. Like our other wood laminates, laminated blackwood features a plywood construction, with interior and exterior layers of figured blackwood veneer separated by a middle filler layer. Though the tonal properties of a wood laminate aren’t as complex as solid wood, the construction method enables us to offer attractive, durable instruments at a more inviting price. A solid spruce top and Taylor craftsmanship ensure a clear, balanced tonal response.
