What is Ovangkol? This relative wood to traditional Rosewood comes from west Africa, and shares a wide tonal spectrum as Rosewood. According to Taylor Guitars, this tonewood has a slightly broader midrange and a bright high end – almost like that of Koa.

It also has a welcoming approach for those who mainly play steel string guitar and want to experiment with a nylon string guitar. Conventional Classical nylon string guy in price point, $999itars often have very large 2”+ nut widths and may not be the most adaptable guitar, especially for someone who wants to be creative quickly.
