Blood Wood Back + Side Set #006

Blood Wood

Bloodwood is a striking and increasingly sought-after tonewood, admired for its vivid crimson color and exceptional density. Known for its strength, stability, and glassy-smooth surface, it offers a unique blend of visual drama and focused tonal response that stands apart from traditional rosewoods.

These sets are carefully selected from sustainably sourced Brosimum rubescens, with wood that has been properly seasoned to ensure long-term stability. Each piece meets instrument-grade standards, making it suitable for distinctive, high-end acoustic builds.

Minimum Dimensions

Back : 8-1/4″ × 22″ × 0.110″ (210mm × 559mm × 2.8mm)
Sides: 5″ × 31-1/2″ × 0.110″ (127mm × 800mm × 2.8mm)

A Bold and Focused Voice

Bloodwood delivers a bright, articulate tone with strong projection and excellent note separation. Its density contributes to a tight low end, clear mids, and crisp highs, making it particularly appealing for players who value clarity and punch over overt warmth. While it differs from rosewood’s deep overtone richness, it brings a modern, cutting voice that shines in both fingerstyle and rhythmic playing.

Distinctive Appearance

Its naturally deep red hue, which can darken into rich burgundy over time, makes every instrument visually unforgettable. With fine, uniform grain and a polished sheen, Bloodwood offers a clean yet dramatic aesthetic.

Limited Availability
