Jatoba is a hardwood that is native to Central and South America. It is reddish brown in color and has a straight grain with a medium texture. Jatoba is a popular choice for building guitars because it has a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it highly durable yet lightweight. It also has a bright, clear tone and good sustain, making it an excellent choice for both acoustic and electric guitars.
