Tonewood Selection and Sustainability

 

At Iulius Guitars, each soundboard is meticulously selected based on aesthetic and acoustic criteria. All materials are individually graded and selected through our proprietary Tonewood Parameter Characterization system, which evaluates the most important mechanical and acoustic parameters, including damping.

Our soundboard usually adopt French or Italian spruce, either naturally aged or torrified, chosen through careful analysis of mechanical parameters to ensure the best balance for each instrument. The back of our guitars is also active, contributing significantly to the acoustic projection. Each piece is individually measured and selected for its unique properties.

We prioritize responsibly harvested and sustainable tonewoods. The only tropical species we use are exotic ebony from Cameroon and FSC-certified mahogany from South America. Our catalogue also features a beautiful selection of European tonewoods, including walnut, ash, maple, and eucalyptus, all chosen for their mechanical and acoustic properties, stunning appearance, and sustainability. We do not use endangered species or tonewoods from uncertain sources.

A wide range of finishes, dyes, and bursts are available, tailored to each customer’s preferences.
