Indian Rosewood is probably the most used guitar tone wood on the planet. It is very stable and always gives top notch results having imposed itself as a reliable and trustworthy species for guitar construction. I matched this beautiful set of Indian Rosewood with an equally gorgeous set of Sinker Redwood aged approximately 200 years. The sound on this Hauser bracedbeauty is marvelous. The most clear basses are coupled by tremendously clear trebles all merged by a wide array of mid tones. Playability is easy and you feel like you are playing a guitar you played for many years such is the comfort that the Bellucci slim neck provides. The action is set as low as possible at 3.2mm at fret 12. S.D.G.
