The Intune’s traditional classical guitar with bearclaw spruce top and back and sides of santos rosewood is a site to marvel at. It comes with a beautiful and concentric ring rosette consisting of stripes of green dyed wood, flamed maple and rosewood bound together. The santos rosewood back and side has somewhat of a three-dimensional illusion with a stunning sapwood in the middle.
The bearclaw spruce on this guitar produces a bell-like tone with clarity, balance and sustain that are finely balanced across the entire tonal spectrum. The craftsmanship and beauty of this guitar is just spectacular.
Bear Claw, also known as Hazelficte, is an asymmetric pattern found on all species of Spruce. It presents itself as fine white lines that will run against the natural grain of the wood. The amount of Bear Claw on a piece of spruce can vary greatly, with some pieces exhibiting a lot while others show little to none.
Santos rosewood is very dense and tough tonewood. But it is also soft to the touch. Its appearance is very beautiful because of a large variety of colours from light golden to dark brown. Being denser than Indian rosewood, it produces deeper bass due to its ability to reflect the sound better and nice highs.
