African Mahogany Acoustic Guitar Heel Block

African Mahogany Acoustic Guitar Heel Block

The heel block is the structural piece that connects the neck to the guitar body. From this point, the back block is built, the sides are fixed, and the upper part of the instrument is stabilized. Its role is essential to ensure a solid, precise, and long-lasting joint, both structurally and acoustically. This version is made from a solid block and ready to adapt to different neck types.

African Mahogany (Khaya spp) is a stable, lightweight, and easy-to-work wood, widely appreciated in guitar making for its reliable gluing behavior and structural performance.

Grade: These blocks are not classified by specific grades but are selected within a medium standard. Pieces with cracks, severe defects, or breakages are excluded, so you will always receive sound, usable blocks. Some may show slight imperfections, others may be more visually appealing, and others simpler, always within the natural variation of this wood in terms of color and grain pattern.
