Blackheart Sassafras Back and Sides

Unique, striking, rare – this quarter sawn, book matched pair will make a truly stunning guitar.

A couple of pin holes in the sides. 

Blackheart Sassafras (Atherosperma moschatum), native to Tasmania, Australia, is highly valued for its tonal qualities in instrument making, particularly for guitars and other stringed instruments.

The versatile tonal profile makes it suitable for a wide range of musical genres and playing styles.

The unique figuring adds visual interest to the set.

David has had this Blackheart Sassafras standing in the corner of his shed waiting for his attention.  Milled in 2010, it’s been a long wait!
