So I promised pictures and here they are. The wood of the fretboard is African Blackwood. This particular very cool piece is a combination on heartwood[black] and the sapwood[white]. African Blackwood is also one of the worlds best tonewoods. The rest of the guitar, the body, is all fashioned from Port Orford Cedar. This is a wood usually used in Flamenco guitars. It is also a very cool wood for a steel string guitar, and its sounds resonate pretty much forever which is a good thing for a guitar to do. Port Orford Cedar, or POC is not a cedar at all, but is from the cypress family. So why is it called Cedar? Why indeed.
