Lacewood, Silky Oak
Back To Tone Woods Main

Above is a Quicksilver Guitar in Lacewood

Lacewood comes from Australia and is also sometimes called Silky Oak. Lacewood is relatively inexpensive, It looks good from any angle. It sounds reasonably good also. I don't like it much for Bass but it's fine on electric archtop guitars. PRS did a run of Lacewood tops in1991.
