Exceptional wood, extraordinary value!

We've been buying tonewood for a long time, and we know a great opportunity when we see one. We recently came across an incredible selection of Sapele back and side sets at prices that made us do a double take.

These are beautiful, high-quality tonewoods that we'd be proud to put into our own guitars. And thanks to this special buying opportunity, we're able to offer them at some truly remarkable prices.

Great wood. Incredible savings. An opportunity worth stocking up for.

Sapele, Entandrophragma cylindricum
Sapele is often referred to as one of the "African Mahoganies", but it is neither a Swietenia nor a Khaya. Due to the large sizes of the trees and commercial availability, Sapele is an affordable tonewood that has many visual and tonal qualities of genuine Mahogany, without the additional import restrictions.

Tonally it is dry, fast, and articulate. It is perfect for flat pickers and players looking to not get lost in a sea of ringing notes or overtones. Many major manufacturers and custom builders love Sapele for both its tonal properties as well as its easy workability.
