Here are a few shots of the bearclaw sitka/cocobolo concert nylon I've been working on. One of the finest classical guitars I've ever played featured this wood combination, so my ears are burning. This customer has a real thing for sapwood (the contrasting yellow wood on the sides), and I guess I can see why. I think the sides look cool. Cocobolo is a wonderful wood with a unique visual beauty, something just a little different than the standard tonewoods. Supply is not an issue which means that top grade pieces are available. Its high density and hardness make it tonally comparable to the rosewoods. I'm already looking forward to using it again.
