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