Blackheart Sassafras has a neutral tone to my ears. Really lets the top do its thing. It's light weight like Maple. Easy to bend and no pores to fill.
The bindings are Curly Australian Blackwood. The bridge is an Australian Desert hardwood. Don't know the species as it was in a box of bits and pieces given to me. Chose it because my client asked for something similar to one in Cocobolo he'd seen in my website Gallery.
