Striped Ebony (New Guinea) Is exclusively government controlled, and is not an endangered species. Deeper and richer sounding
than East Indian Rosewood, it is very similar to Brazilian rosewood for its reflective properties, and also has a high specific gravity.
It has a striking, distinctive vertical stripe pattern, variegated dark brown, black and green.

Walnut Is a dark brown, highly figured specialty wood which is grown in a wide variety of locations. It provides the bright
woodiness of mahogany when played lightly, with much of the power of rosewood when you dig in.When properly braced,
a walnut backed guitar can have a unique warmth and tonal depth.

White Ash Was utilized on a limited but extremely popular run of D-16A Martin guitars made between 1987 and 1990.
It provides a surprisingly loud and bright tonal character, with a strong midrange and a crisp bass.
