Tone Wood Options
/We’re always looking for new Tone Woods - both for sonic and visual appeal. And we’ve got some good ones that are New for ‘22:
Limba - also know as Korina
First, flip it over and gasp at the back of this guitar, and we delightfully spy a Limba body back; this one finished in White with Black Dog Hair (a.k.a. Cookies and Cream Dog Hair). Limba, also referred to as Korina, is a Mahogany-like wood that can be livelier and slightly more pronounced than traditional Mahogany while still dominating with focused midrange and power.
Blackheart Fingerboards - As rich sounding as Rosewood, as Dark in color as Ebony
Introducing a new fingerboard wood called Blackheart. Looks and sounds so good.
“Blackheart” is in actuality, Purpleheart wood that has been “roasted” and now appears very dark to the eye—almost black. We call it Blackheart.
Our official Anderson position regarding this fingerboard wood is:
Blackheart is as rich sounding as Rosewood (maybe richer) and as dark looking as ebony.
From a sheer tonal standpoint, this fingerboard wood sounds wonderful, rich, full and lush while easily upholding the substantial foundation required for gorgeous vintage tones to exude unimpeded.
If your preference is to dance across a very dark fingerboard, you are now welcome to do so, with no rich tonal restrictions whatsoever.
Chocolate Maple Necks are Back!
Back to the back—of the guitar—and what you may instantly notice about the neck back is that…Chocolate is back. Chocolate Maple necks, that is.
Once again you can get a Chocolate Maple neck back with a fingerboard of either Rosewood, Ziricote or Blackheart.
