Indian Rosewood is the most popular material for guitar bridges. It has been used by most guitar companies for many decades. It is also a popular choice among luthiers due to it's beauty, stability, acoustic properties and workability.
It is common to match a rosewood bridge with a rosewood fingerboard on steel string acoustic guitars and to use a rosewood bridge on classical guitars regardless of the fingerboard timber.
These bridge blanks are cut from the finest rosewood, they are dry and ready to use.
Grading is based purely on aesthetic considerations and lower grade bridge blanks can make just as good a sounding and functioning guitar as the higher grades - The first grade timber has a darker, more even colour and is generally more quartersawn with straighter grain. The second grade can be lighter coloured with some streaking, pinholes or small knots. Some luthiers prefer the look of the second grade as it has more character.
