Phoebe porosa
Imbuia is a dark, exotic wood that grows in southern Brazil, where it frequently is used in making high-end furniture and cabinetry (because of its physical characteristics and appearance, it has been called "Brazilian walnut," but it's not a genuine walnut). Imbuia is a hard, dense wood, so it produces a relatively tight, bright, "direct" tone that lends itself to amplification. It offers good tonal separation from string to string, while retaining plenty of the essential bass "thump."
Available on select limited editions.
