Buckskin Redwood has all the vocal warmth of Cedar, but allows significantly more headroom to allow for broader access to the tonal spectrum. The sustainable vertically grained Buckskin Redwood found on this Dreadnought rested on the forest floor, perhaps for hundreds of years, following some long ago thrashing in a Humboldt County winter storm. Its tone speaks of history and its subtle, leathery look is rugged and individualistic. With a fast neck, L.R. Baggs Anthem electronics and sloped cutaway, the rare Redwood is supported by elegant Esperanza Brazilian Rosewood.
Buckskin Redwood is a highly regarded tonewood. It comes from the heart of the coast Redwood tree, typically sourced from fallen or sustainably harvested trees. Buckskin Redwood is recognized for its distinctive rich, warm tone with excellent balance, offering a well rounded bass response and clear, articulate highs, making it a popular choice for both strumming and fingerstyle playing.
Significantly rare and highly prized, Esperanza Brazilian Rosewood is known for its striking appearance and exceptional tonal properties. It delivers a rich, full bodied sound with a clear bass, bright trebles, and excellent sustain. The wood’s stiffness and density contribute to its vibrant resonance, rendering it one of the most desirable back and side woods for acoustic guitars.
