Ovangkol, considered a more contemporary
tonewood, continues to make a great
impression on players who discover its
voice. Its modern, focused sound matches
many of the same bass and treble properties
of rosewood, but produces slightly more
midrange sparkle compared to rosewood’s
scooped mids. Visually, crisp white binding
projects a clean aesthetic, and a new engraved
pearloid Progressive Dot fretboard inlay
applies a modern, cutting-edge design touch.
Players looking for a versatile guitar with a
broad tonal spectrum will enjoy exploring
ovangkol’s responsive sounds.
