RWRW2225-355 Overview – Specifications & Features
Style 3 Weissenborn Guitar · Tasmanian Blackwood (AA+ Grade)
The incredible bold contrast seen in the top isn't something we often see in Tasmanian Blackwood. It rivals exotic species like Bocote or Zebrawood for its stripes. The top, back and sides of this guitar all take on a slight different form, having come from different sections of the same log, but all feature the recurring dark brown figuring seen down the centre.
– Richard Wilson
