Honduran Rosewood Set Classical Guitar MB Exclusive No. 17
This Honduran Rosewood (Dalbergia stevensonii) classical guitar set is a one-of-a-kind MB Exclusive piece, consisting of a matched back and sides selected for a high-end lutherie build.
Tonally, Honduran Rosewood is a historically respected tonewood for classical guitars, valued for its balance and depth. It delivers deep, well-defined bass, excellent note separation, and a long, even sustain. The midrange adds body and coherence, while the treble remains clear and controlled, without harshness, resulting in a balanced and stable response well suited to classical guitar.
Aesthetically, this wood is known for a lively and expressive grain, with a natural undulation that creates a rich, elegant figure. Its dark brown tones, often with subtle violet or reddish hues, give a sober, timeless look appreciated in high-end classical instruments.
