This wood is very similar to Indian Rosewood and Wenge. Not very expensive. Well quartered sets in Steel String & Classical are available. To some degree, this wood has the appearance of East Indian Rosewood as well as similar tap tone & working properties. One of the most appealing features of Zebra is the exotic appearance of the colorful grain. Black & golden lines make this an appealing choice for backs & sides.
Well defined basses and trebles, good volume and excellent distribution of voices, similar to maple but with less resonance but some dark overtones. But mostly, the guitar is stunning to look at. Order one with lattice bracing to enhance the sound and bring out the best tonal qualities of the wood, warm, rich tones with ample power behind them. Zebrawood double tops make for terrific guitars at very reasonable prices. You will find yourself looking at the instrument for hours at a time such is the beauty of the grain and patterns created by these. – Tonewooddata
