Expertly sourced

Every piece is selected with the benefit of a lifetime of woodworking knowledge.

Small-batch quality

We avoid the mass-market approach. We focus on limited batches to ensure every set is perfectly stable and ready for your workbench.

Ethically reclaimed

We specialise in rescuing Australia’s most iconic species from the chipper, transforming salvaged timber into world-class tonewood.

Ready for the maker

Our timbers are carefully air-dried and sawn for the structural integrity that master-built instruments demand.

Sustainable tonewood

Sustainability is non-negotiable at Australian Guitar Timbers. We work with salvaged, locally felled, and responsibly harvested Australian logs. Our workshop runs on solar power.

Global reach

For decades, Australian Guitar Timbers has bridged the world’s most acclaimed guitar makers with the beauty of premium Australian tonewoods.
