Brazilian Rosewood. The "Holy Grail" of tonewoods. There's no disputing its wonderful tone. Does it sound better than Indian Rosewood? Oh yeah. Is it worth the difference in price? That's up to you. We decided to create a gallery of the Brazilian Rosewood guitars that have passed through our shop. Some are available for sale. Most are in the hands of very fortunate guitar aficionados. Enjoy...
