Does Brazilian rosewood make the best classical guitars?
No. Acoustic guitars can be built with various other woods that work as well as Brazilian. High quality Brazilian rosewood is scarce and its price has become exorbitant. Most of the wood available is of a lower quality and will make an instrument more prone to cracking and warping. Brazilian rosewood is a beautiful sounding tone wood, but other woods that often equal it in beauty are more stable and far less expensive.
