Guitar Making Hardwoods – Buy Online
We supply guitar makers and other musical instrument craftspeople all over the UK with sustainably sourced, excellent quality guitar tonewoods. Carefully selected for their beauty, durability, and ability to create a distinctive sound, our range of rare and diverse woods are some of the best in the industry for body, fretboards and heads.

Recommended guitar making hardwoods we supply include:
– Rosewood – one of the most popular fretboard hardwoods, rosewood creates a warm and rich tone, thanks to its oily, dense quality. It’s easy to play and is incredibly smooth.
– Ebony – With a naturally polished quality, ebony is one of the darkest and densest woods available. It is most sought after for guitar fretboards for its ability to sustain notes for a long time.
– Mahogany – Used for all parts of the guitar’s body, mahogany wood has a red tone. It’s one of the stiffer choices for guitar tonewood. When used for the soundboard, mahogany has a woody and warm sound.
– Spruce – widely considered the highest standard guitar wood for the soundboard, spruce has a classic look, and a fine grain. It’s lightweight and very long lasting, and has a crisp, broad tonal range.
