This listing is for a single Obeche (also known as Ayous, Samba, Wawa, African Whitewood, Abachi, or Sambawawa) glued body blank available for purchase. This blank boasts ample width, making it suitable for crafting various standard guitar patterns such as Tele, Strat, and others.
Being an African white wood, this kiln-dried piece displays a pristine white color with mahogany-like interlocking coarse grain. The wood's finishing results in an impressive high luster, adding to its aesthetic appeal.
Notably, Ayous serves as an exotic body wood option for renowned luthiers like PRS Private Stock. It is recognized for its lightweight characteristics, being comparable to Korina in this aspect.
