Tasmanian blackwood rivals koa’s tone profile — featuring a meaty midrange with the top-end brightness of maple — and adds a splash of rosewood’s low end. Paired with Western Red cedar tops, these guitars will sound woody and warm. Fingerpickers and light to medium strummers will love the warmth, while players with a driving attack might consider the GS and Dreadnought models. The wood-rich appointment package incorporates Rock maple for the contrasting back mini wedge, “fishbone”-style rosette, and binding. Small dot inlays and a satin-finish back and sides support a natural, understated aesthetic.
