Black Limba (Terminalia superba)
For decades Black Limba has been a prized wood for electric guitars. It is the same species as the revered Korina, but with prominent dark coloring. The solid feel and beautiful look makes this wood stand out from the crowd.
This west African hardwood is tonally similar to Honduran Mahogany. It has a fast, dry attack that is big, bold and confident, and it compliments humbuckers and single coils equally well.
Visually, Black Limba's colors range from honey gold with distinct streaks of grey, brown and black and lots of dark, interlocking grain lines. When stained, it's easy to highlight these beautiful grainlines for an absolutely stunning guitar. The wood machines like a dream, and has very small pores that you may, or may not, choose to fill before finishing.
Each body blank is one-piece, thickness sanded and ready for bandsawing and routing in your shop.
