Alerce
Tree (Fitzroya Cupressacea)
This timber has a natural resonance frequency
of 174 Hz, which is excellent for building
guitar tops.
The natural resonant frequency represents
the grouping of the mechanical properties,
because it depends on the density, tangential
and radial hardness, as well as elasticity.
Given the anatomical properties, Alerce
wood develops greater vibration obtaining
improved response to lower and middle
frequencies resulting in a sweeter, fuller,
warmer sound.

Indian
Rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia)
With our long tradition in guitar making,
we use the Indian Rosewood on the back,
sides and fingerboards. It delivers the
full, rich bass response and sharp crystalline
high pitches with long sustainability.
We only use quarter sawn Rosewood.

Bolivian
Mahogany (Swietenia sp)
Very similar to Honduran Mahogany, usually
used for the guitar's backs, rims, mahogany
is known for its clear harmonics. This
hardwood is strong, stable and light.
