Why Madagascar Rosewoood ?
-
This is an exotic rosewood, if the wood' grains is carefully book-matched, it is very eye catching guitar. The trees only grow in Madagascar island, recently the local authority reinstated the ban on lodging & illegal exporting of the endanger Madagascar Rosewood species. Quoted from National Geographic news in March 2010.

As good as Brazilian Rosewood's density & grains (exportation of brazilian rosewood are curbed with CITES document approval by local government) but Madagascar Rosewood although very rare in supplies but it does not subject to CITES approval yet (maybe coming soon !).
-
Madagascar Rosewood = Dalbergia Baronii, this fine rosewood timber species grows in lowland rainforest, often in marshy areas and near mangroves in Eastern Madagascar island. These forests have been greatly reduced. Large individuals are rare because of overexploitation, status is "Vulnerable" or nearly "Endanger" species

The MUNICH model
The asymmetrical bracing is chosen for the bracing architecture with a Transversal Bracing (like the pictures) that enhances the clarity across high - mid - low frequencies. Two smaller bracings toward the trebles, mid brace and 3 additional braces for lower frequencies resonance. The enhancement on this architecture obviously achieved greater tones separation accross strings, higher projection, clarity & enhance richness on trebles harmonics. This proves the asymmetrical bracing advantages that diminishes the cancellation effect in higher frequencies that sometimes exist on the symmetrical guitar.
A unique design for signature sounds
The Madagascar solid wood with exotic grains is chosen to paired up with bindings of flame maple wood and special Rosette which match the red cedar top. The high grade red cedar top has it's perfect straight lines grains from the custom workshop reserved woods. The flame mapple inlay on head stock matched the flame mapple binding at the back.
