Has anybody used, or seen/heard of carob being used for back and sides. I've got some with beautiful colors, and was wondering if it could be used in a guitar. Curiously, Colin |

It would be my guess that this is an excellent tonewood since it is so closely related to olivewood. Looking over the details of this wood, I doubt that you will find many that have built guitars with it because of it's expense. I would love to see and hear one! |

Thought that I'd add a pic of the wood in question... |

Interesting stuff! I imagine it will darken with age? I'm always interested in uncommonly used woods for guitar building. |
