Armbevel

 

 

Amazaque(aka Ovangkol) is a fantastic tonewood that has virtally gone undetected and is from a sustainable source. An African relative of rosewood, it's a great sounding wood that shares many of rosewood's tonal properties, with a slightly fuller midrange and a top end that's not quite as bright as maple. I personally love this as a tone wood and is asserting itself as an instant contender Indian Rosewood among unsuspecting players who test-drive it.

 

The Armbevel make s this guitar extremly confortable to play but also make it feel smaller than it actual is. THe Bevelled Cutaway keeps the tone on a full body guitar but give a little more access to the upper strings.
