Ash Sides Acoustic Guitar

Ash Sides Acoustic Guitar

This set of European ash sides is ideal for luthiers looking for a stable, lightweight and easy-to-work option. It includes two pieces sized for standard acoustic guitar format.

Ash works well in the shop, with a clear, even grain and good bending behavior. These sets follow a medium selection standard, excluding any pieces with cracks, breaks or major structural flaws.

As with any side bending process, it’s important to monitor areas with localized knots or sensitive grain, but ash generally responds well to heat and pressure for clean, reliable results.
