Tasmanian Blackheart Sassafras

Tasmanian Blackheart Sassafras (Atherosperma moschatum) species is visually outstanding. You will be sure to gain a crowd even before you start playing the guitar! Blackheart Sassafras has a very unique sound and has often said to fall tonally between Walnut and Maple, balanced across the tonal range and remains very responsive to the player. - A very beautifully unique personality all round.

Our high standards in processing quality luthier timbers is a timely task that often takes five years from log to guitar kit. Our methodology of log selection and quality control of each Blackheart Sassafras flitch yields about 20% of the initial quantity, the remaining material being used in fine furniture.
