Tiger myrtle guitar sets

 

 

Tasmanian myrtle (nothofagus cunninghamii) is found on the island of Tasmania. The heartwood is pink to reddish brown and the most desirable  pieces have black streaks running along the grain and exhibit a leopard figure. The number of trees that produce this unique figure is confined to a very small area and occurs in a limited number of standing forests. Tasmanian myrtle is fine grained, even textured and works easily. It is a dense wood and tonally responsive; it has many of the same sonic properties as rosewoods. You can expect a bright, responsive high end with a well defined low end.
