| Post subject: | Sapwood in Sides |
I’m looking at purchasing a set of Amazon Rosewood from one of our sponsors. The set I’m thinking about has sapwood in the sides. I have only bent one set of sides before and am wondering if there is anything I would need to be concerned about with sapwood in the sides. I guess for that matter, are there structural issues to think about as well? Thanks, John Killin |

HI John, I use Cocobolo sapwood all the time, I love the look and I have never had a problem. You want to stay way from sapwood if its punky, but if its solid, I use it. Attachment: l_cc049a2abd6159ee4b1799d24aaa8d27.jpg Attachment: l_052b9ad506a337b4a9e31d25505bc1a2.jpg

Thanks Lance. That is a beautiful guitar. I think the simple black purfling line really sets of the sapwood. Nice job. John |
