Tasmanian blackwood is often compared to its better better-known cousin, Hawaiian koa. We gathered an assortment of impressively figured backs and sides for this run, making this a special upgrade to our 500 Series. Tonally, blackwood shares koa's blend of midrange bloom and end brightness, and will grow sweetly mellower over time with great dynamic range.
