These A-grade Santos Rosewood FSC 100% sides come from responsibly managed Bolivian forests, ensuring legal harvesting, biodiversity protection, labor rights and full traceability from origin to the luthier’s workshop. Certified woods provide consistency, stability and ethical assurance in acoustic guitar building.
Botanically Machaerium scleroxylon, this species—widely recognised as Pau Ferro—offers high density and excellent dimensional stability. These traits support a clear and controlled response, ideal for acoustic guitar sides.
A-grade pieces remain structurally reliable and visually appealing, though they may show a more uniform colour or subtle natural variations typical of the species. They retain all mechanical advantages of Santos Rosewood and are fully suitable for quality instruments.
