Sapele Wood Guitar Review

Hoke sapele wood guitar stand customer reviews.

Sapele wood guitar review.

It s comparable to mahogany but its higher density tends to produce a slightly brighter sound with more top end shimmer. This is no surprise given that it s quite a hard wood but is still easy to carve. Like mahogany sapele is used as both a top wood and a back sides wood. In fact many guitar manufacturers use sapele wood in their low end guitars and use mahogany only for their high end guitars.

4 4 out of 5 stars. This leads to sapele wood guitars being sold at a cheaper price than mahogany guitars. New to this model are stunning mother of pearl pattern fingerboard inlays with a multi stripe rosette border. 4 4 out of 5.

Sapele comes from west africa and its scientific name is entandrophragma. It s harder than both honduran and african mahogany. It has an fsc certified richlite fingerboard and bridge satin finish body and a hand rubbed neck finish. Sapele s tonal output is consistent and balanced across the tonal spectrum making it compatible with a diverse range of playing styles.
