East Indian Rosewood Back and Side Sets – Fine Quality

Indian Rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia): also known as East Indian rosewood, is native to southern India. It features heartwood that varies from rose to deep brown, often with darker purple-black lines, and has a moderately coarse, uniform texture with a dull to medium gloss. Our Back/Side sets are top grade, quartered and book-matched sets, that have been dried to an moisture content of 10% or less and are ready for use.  We do recommend that you allow the wood to acclimate to your shop until the moisture content is stable (5 days minimum). The sets are sized for a full-sized guitar and meet the following minimum dimensions: Backs: 8.75″ W x 22″ L x .23″ thk Sides: 5.12″ W x 34″ L x .16″ thk The sides will be selected to match the back grain and color. The images provided are representative of the grain, color, etc.
