- The Process of Making a Guitar with High Quality Wood by a Master.
He transformed slices of spruce, ebony, mahogany, and other tree species into glistening guitars.
Fine classical guitars traditionally are made with rosewood back and sides, spruce or cedar tops, necks of mahogany, fingerboards of ebony.
By far the first choice for top quality classical guitars is Alpine spruce (picea abies), commonly called German spruce.
The flamenco guitars are usually made with Spanish cypress, an attractive blond wood that is extremely light, and can be worked much thinner than rosewood. It is the use of thin, light cypress for the back and sides that helps give flamenco guitars their vibrant and distinctive sound.
Two types of rosewood are commonly used in classical guitars and so-called flamenco: Brazilian rosewood and Indian rosewood. Both woods are dense, resinous, and very handsome. Brazilian has highly figured grain, and many consider it the more beautiful of the two, but it is more brittle and difficult to work than Indian rosewood. By contrast, Indian rosewood tends to be straighter-grained, and often contains purplish streaks. Brazilian rosewood has become increasingly expensive and rare.
