I spoken to several US luthier friends. They all say that the "Brazilian" used on this is a laminate of Jacaranda. I understand this to be another type of rosewood. Alvarez used to ship a lot of Jacaranda b/s guitars. Beautiful, none the less. |
To the best of my knowledge "Jacarandá" (or "Jacarandá da Bahia", to be more specific) is what "Brazilian Rosewood" is called in Brazil. So, unless someone is misusing the name, "Jacarandá" is "Brazilian Rosewood".
Has anyone seen the name "Jacarandá" being used to mean a different wood?
