A member of the Dalbergia family—the same genus as Brazilian Rosewood, which has been protected under CITES regulations since the 1990s due to overexploitation. Rosewood is its legitimate counterpart, offering the same exceptional tonal qualities: dense, naturally oily, and renowned for its warm, rich resonance. These characteristics made it Fender’s wood of choice for fingerboards on countless iconic guitars for decades. In a cue, that warmth translates into a grip that feels smooth, responsive, and full of character.
