Much, if not all the landscaped “Madagascar Rosewood” (Dalbergia baronii) that we use to see used to make guitars some years ago were actually four piece and not two piece back sets. 15-20 years ago a large lot of Madagascar Rosewood bass finger boards were resawn into four piece back sets.
I have a scrap from one of my guitars shown below. Most lay people and players never could tell that these weren’t two piece sets because they were quite easy the hide the seams in the figure. There are about 40 different species of rosewood in Madagascar so many guitars labeled “Madagascar Rosewood” are entirely different species.

Yeah... As working with the CITES permit, I’ve only experienced D. Baronii so far.... I may meet one of other Dalbergia family members from Madagascar someday. For the international trade, Species thing cannot be hidden after Jan, 2017.. |

Progression
While Juston's German/Maple 000 build has been an eye candy for me, I guess John also started something on mine secretly.
John said he made the body a few days ago and photos will be ready soon! I can't wait to share with you guys~ |
