Questions & Answers
| Question Under which circumstances should I keep my guitar? |
| Reply Preferably, keep your guitar in an environment that has a stable humidity of around 50 to 60%. In case the humidity would often rise beyond 60 %, we advice you to put an airconditioner or dehumidifier. Below 40%, it is advisable to install a device to add moisture to the air, in order to augment the humidity. |

Question What is Central-en South-American Rosewood? |
|
Reply We call Brazilian Rosewood (Jacaranda), Cocobolo and Amazon Rosewood "Central-and South American Rosewood". They both belong to the same botanical group (Leguminosae family, Dalbergia species) and grow in their natural habitat, being Central- and South-America. Their appearance and properties are similar and can both be used for the side and back of the guitar. Jacaranda is controlled by Import & export regulations called "CITES" (Convention regarding the import of endangered species), whilst Cocobolo and Amazon Rosewood are not limited by these regulations, hence easier available. We classify wood based on a number of criteria and demands for each model produced. |
