American Cherry – Back and Sides

Sides – 870 x 140 x 5 mm approx ( each )
Description:
American Cherry is a beautiful and versatile tonewood, prized for its warm appearance and balanced tonal qualities. Known for its rich reddish-brown colour that deepens with age, Cherry produces a clear, well-rounded sound with excellent note definition and sustain. It is a popular choice for luthiers seeking a distinctive alternative to traditional tonewoods.

Features:

  • Species: American Cherry (Prunus serotina)
  • Appearance: Warm pinkish-brown to rich reddish-brown tones with a fine, attractive grain
  • Tone Characteristics: Balanced, warm, and clear with excellent sustain and articulation
  • Grain: Fine and generally straight, with a smooth natural texture
  • Condition: Suitable for acoustic guitar construction

Applications:
Ideal for acoustic guitar backs and sides, custom instrument builds, and luthiery projects.

Note:
As a natural tonewood, variations in colour, grain, and figure are to be expected. Cherry naturally darkens and develops a richer tone with age and exposure to light. Minor surface checks or natural features may occasionally be present. Photographs are representative of typical appearance.
