Okoumé: a premium wood for a high-quality bass

Used for decades in the maritime and aerospace industries, Okoumé—native to West Africa—is a wood of choice for electric guitars. This lightweight, low-density wood offers a wide dynamic range, enhancing the instrument’s clarity and resonance.

Morado: a touch of elegance and comfort

The Morado fingerboard, also known as Pau Ferro, comes from the forests of Brazil and Bolivia. Its high density produces a tone that blends rosewood and maple, and its very comfortable feel evokes the characteristics of ebony, contributing to a pleasant and high-performance playing experience.
