Rosewood BSR

[Ken Smith]

Ok, the Serial # is listed which is a huge help. Because Morado, the Maples and Mahogany are all spelled with 'M' we use the letter 'R' for Morado in the wood codes for ID. Morado is also known in Slang as Bolivian or Santos Rosewood so generically it has been called Rosewood in the past but just isn't. The Back on this looks like Morado as well. We have not mixed Morado and Walnut for Top and Back for over 15 years. The grain is straighter than the Top is but still, you can see the red hues mixed with browns and black grain lines which is not something you see on Walnut especially with the tight closed Ebony-like grain pores unlike porous Walnut.
