Lost In Limba Limbo
/
Everything is good. You are not actually lost because we are here with you and will continue to enjoyably unravel the limbo—so only the Limba remains.
Together, let us enter the Limba region of Guitar Tales. Notice the stillness and the availability of knowledge that pervades.
You know where you are now. You are at Anderson Guitarworks and you are safe; and looking at Limba—on a Li’l Angel Player—easily the best playing and best sounding 24 to be found.
Lore of Limba:
Also known as Korina from late 50’s guitar making, Limba can have quiet a varied appearance, ranging from lightly yellowish in color with a subtle grain pattern (often referred to as white limba) to a much more dramatic, colorful and wildly sought after look (aka black limba).
Pictured is the drama that can be Black Limba, dressed in a Tinted Natural finish. This one even further fueled by the added “fire” of the Ziricote Fingerboard and a Chocolate Maple neck back.
Gorgeous, yes! But the limbo of Limba is not its varied look. The limbo of Limba is the deep mystery that surrounds its storybook sound.
Its true tone is primarily…Unknown…perhaps like the enigmatic legend of the Agojie women from the African kingdom of Dahomey, provocative but mysterious.
So then, what is the real call of Limba?
An African wood reminiscent of mahogany, it sings with significant differences that set it apart, giving it its own distinctive voice. Mahogany-like, it speaks with extended clarity and upper articulation and a little less mid-only bulk. Metaphorically, you may like to think of it as a beautiful offspring of Mahogany and Swamp Ash—where Mahogany is the more predominant parent while Ash’s articulate and effervescent influence cannot go unnoticed.
Ample girth with enlivened clarity, that is the way of Korina—the lure and lore of Limba, no longer in limbo.
