Ash Sides Classical Guitar

Ash Sides Classical Guitar

This set of European ash sides is a functional and stable option for classical guitars. It includes two pieces sized for traditional format and bending work.

Ash is valued for its lightness, mechanical responsiveness, and natural, understated grain. These pieces follow a medium selection standard: any wood with cracks, breaks or major defects is excluded, ensuring healthy and reliable stock.

When bending, it's advisable to watch for areas with knots or off-axis grain. Even so, this wood is pleasant to work with and offers good structural and aesthetic results.
