Colonial Tonewoods

Ovangkol guitar sets

 

 

Why beat around the…tree? We love Ovangkol. (AKA Guibortia ehie, Shedua, Mozambique, Amazoue or Amazakoue). Not only does it have a lively tap tone, when combined with the right top, it gives you a bright and wonderfully responsive guitar. (Since Ovangkul comes from the same family as Bubinga, it shares many of the tonal qualities and depth of Rosewood, although it has a much better “snap” usually associated with medium density woods such as Koa and Walnut.
