Features of Woods Used in Carson Crickmore Guitars

Blackwood (Acacia Melanoxylon)

Grown predominantly in southern Victoria and Tasmania.

This is Australia's premier instrument building wood, growing straight grained and with figure, ie fiddleback. Blackwood is stable when prepared properly, it bends very well and consistently produces a strong, fundamental tone. It is very appealing visually and there is a good supply available within Australia.

80% of Carson Crickmore Guitars are produced in blackwood
