Exotic Ebony
Diospyros crassiflora Hiern
Exotic ebony is a wood that presents a beautiful color contrast between the dark black characteristic of ebony and lighter areas of pale yellow to pinkish color, in really colorful lengthwise strip patterns. These acoustic guitar backs will generally be counter grained, which gives the pieces a great variation of colors and a unique look. In addition, the ravishingly smooth look of exotic ebony adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall aesthetics of the instrument.
Exotic Ebony is really appreciated for making musical instruments, both for the beautiful figures that it has as for the unbeatable acoustic properties. This wood shares qualities with African Ebony, but with a black and white contrast that make amazing patterns. Regarding the sound, it has bright and dynamical tones.
Density: 1000-1275 Kg/m3
Quilted Maple

Australian Blackwood
Botanical nameAcacia melanoxylon,

Australian Blackwood possesses a rich and powerful lower mid-range which contributes overall to a warm, dark tone. As a tonewood, Blackwood sits somewhere between the fullness of Rosewood and the brightness of Mahogany.
Quote :
"Blackwood possesses a rich and powerful lower mid-range which contributes overall to a warm, dark tone. This contrasts with the drier, crisper tones that are realised if Queensland maple or Mahogany is used. As a tonewood, Blackwood sits somewhere between the fullness of Rosewood and the brightness of Mahogany. An unexpected bonus is the contribution Blackwood makes to tone when used as a neck. A Blackwood neck will consistently provide greater volume and clarity than either Queensland Maple or Mahogany" - Pat Evans - The Use of Blackwood in the Australian Guitar-Making Industry, Proceedings of a Blackwood Industry Group (BIG) Workshop, Victoria, 26-29 April 2006.

Bird's Eye Maple white-brown
Botanical Name Acer saccharum Marsh
Maple as a tone wood is known for a very linear tone. It is respected for an extended bass range while not losing crispness in the high end.
Birdseye Maple acoustics is aimed at achieving a direct, punchy tone with a ton of headroom. The addition of Birdseye maple back and sides provides excellent separation to the guitar's tone, ensuring that each note of a chord rings separately without sounding muddy or clustered. Gibson emphasizes the strong fundamental tone and broad dynamic response of their maple guitars.

Padouk with Sapwood

The tropical species Padouk has a characteristic bright red color, which however turns gray very quickly. It is a very durable wood, which does not require any preservative treatment: it is therefore an economical and ecological material. Padouk is a tall tree of the dense rainforests of tropical and equatorial Africa.
In terms of sound, Padauk is typically associated with bright, projecting midrange and a clear, balanced tone. It has similar density and hardness to Rosewood, which is another popular choice for guitar tonewood.

Aged Flamed Eucalyptus
Botanical Name:Eucalyptus globulus
As a result of the problem caused by the inclusion of dalbergias in CITES Appendix 2, every luthier, and tone wood suppliers began to look for alternatives that could replace the dalbergias that have been used for years in the music industry with guarantees. The objective was to find a wood with the same density, hardness and colour.
Madinter focused exclusively on finding a wood with the same density and hardness and found it at home in Spain. The eucalyptus, Eucalyptus globulus.
This tree is one of the most relevant forest wood species in the Iberian Peninsula, so we find in it a sustainable resource, unlimited and absolute guarantees of legality.
Eucalyptus has the ideal characteristics of density and hardness but it is a light pale yellow wood which, due to its colour the guitar players, collectors and luthiers do not have used before.
After a year and a half of research Madinter have created a stable product, with a very attractive color, very close to dalbergias.
This isn't one of the most used wood for musical instruments, but it's wining supporters as time goes by. The Curly Eucaliptus has a high mechanic resistance, elasticity and hardness, not forgetting its magnificent grain.
Density: 740-830 kg/m3
