I detail the three most commonly used types below. Please inquire about my current stock of back\/side sets. I choose all my sets for tonal quality and structural stability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>East Indian Rosewood:<\/strong> The most commonly used and readily available rosewood. Produces a strong, complex low end and bell-like highs. This wood produces a &#8220;bloom&#8221; of tone, creating a strong blending of notes. Expect an attractive combination of browns, purples, reds, tans and grays in mostly straight-grained figure. Woods with similar tonal profiles include Madagascar Rosewood, Cocobolo, Ovangkol, Bubinga.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honduran Mahogany:<\/strong> A classic tonewood from South America. Lighter and softer than rosewoods, it produces a guitar with more emphasis on the mids and a more open, &#8220;woody&#8221; tone. Basses tend to be open and less complex, with good note separation and projection. Mostly available in subtle straight-grained figure, often with vertical bands or &#8220;stripes&#8221;. Sets with varying degrees of figure may be available. Woods with similar tonal properties include Sapele and Khaya.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maples:<\/strong> Maple guitars produce pure tone with very strong projection. Tahoe guitars built with maple back and sides produce very balanced tone without lacking bass. Basses have a very clear character, mids and highs sing very sweetly. The three common types of maple used for tonewood are eastern hard maple, European &#8220;Sycamore&#8221; Maple, and western Big Leaf Maple. Maple often displays varying degrees of attractive grain figure commonly called curl, flame or fiddleback. Woods with similar tonal properties include walnut and Oregon Myrtle.<\/p>\n<p>East Indian Rosewood<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-159\" title=\"Indian Rosewood\" src=\"http:\/\/tahoeguitar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Back_Close-e1467637869209.jpg\" alt=\"Bridgeslotomy\" width=\"374\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Honduran Mahogany<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-159\" title=\"Honduran Mahogany\" src=\"http:\/\/tahoeguitar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/20160630_124218-e1467839983506.jpg\" alt=\"Bridgeslotomy\" width=\"374\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Flamed Big Leaf Maple<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-159\" title=\"Flamed Big Leaf Maple\" src=\"http:\/\/tahoeguitar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Back1.jpg\" alt=\"Bridgeslotomy\" width=\"250\" height=\"374\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have many back\/side sets in stock, which include a variety of exotic and domestic hardwoods.
