We had the good fortune to obtain a number of wild grain Indian Rosewood back and side sets and this is the first of many that will have this feature. Tonally, this wood is ptetty much the same as straight-grained rosewood, but has the visual beauty of the wild grain back.

It sounds as good as it looks, and plays as good as it sounds, with a nice low action that would be ideal for fingerstyle players that like to go up the neck.
