  Jatoba is an alternative wood at no upcharge. As I write I've made 4 from this material, and it is as good as anything, better than most. |

| Pernambuco:
Referred to as the "Music Tree" in Brazil as it is the most resonant
tree in the forest, and can be identified by whacking the trees with a
cudgel as one strolls through the forest; it is the tree that sing back
to you! Extremely rare, especially in pieces big enough to build
guitars. Pricing ranges from $2000 to $4000. |
Pernambuco Type 1 (flat/rift):  |
Pernambuco Type 2 (quartered):  |

CHECHEN
: I made 2 very successful FT-15 (and FT-15-Kerala) from Chechen, and I currently have just one more set. This is one of the harder woods to be found that is not an Ebony. This wood is also called Black Poison Wood because nothing grows near it due to it's sap. |
