- Опубліковано 12 сер 2024
- Granadillo is the common name applied to several species within the Platymiscium genus. It may also be known as Macacauba, Macawood, Hormigo and Orange Agate depending on the region it has grown.
Sharing sonic characteristics with African Blackwood and Cocobolo its safe to say I'm excited to try this wood!
Big thanks to Stewmac for sponsoring this episode!

Great video Tom. Can't wait to see what you build with it. 😎
So glad to have some Grandillo! Great wood 🙌
Tom, you're the best. I love the videos, your sense of humor and candor.
Breedlove use Granadillo along with torrefied European Spruce in one of their Asian made very affordable Jeff Bridges signature models, which I bought on a whim. As far as guitars in this range go, it is absolutely outstanding. The note separation and the balance of bass and treble are wonderful. I am very keen on hearing what a master builder like you can do with it.
Just a few minutes from home, McBeath was my go to for hardwood odds and ends and the occasional diamond in the rough. I found a huge odd sized plank of the most beautiful quartered mahogany there just sitting on the rack. I shared it with friends and we were able to pull out At least 10 perfect necks (laminated of course). I also was able to find gorgeous purple heart that turned into bindings and neck laminate strips. Ebony cut offs turned into bridges and head plates, etc. - an amazing hardwood store!
Another great demo! Thank you for sharing!! Keep on doing this!
You bet!
That looks like some Palo Escrito that I have here in the shop. I use granadillo for fingerboards because they use it a ton in Mexico for that. The stuff I have is super hard about as hard as Ebony and holds frets really well.
As the tap-tone process developed the sustain came through in floods - lively and colourful. Definitely in the AB and Cocobolo arena. Must checkout some guitars built with Granadillo... Keep ‘em commin’ Tom...
Thanks Kevin! It’s cool right!?
🤤 I’ve enjoyed plenty of sound clips of Grenadillo guitars...def does seem to lean to the sparkly side. Marc Beneteau spoke highly of the sets he got from StewMac years ago. Look forward to seeing and hearing a Grenadillo Sands!
me too!! its good stuff
I like the way you tap, it’s fancy!!!!
I’m nothing if not a fancy man.
@@TomSandsGuitars Soooo Fancy!!!!! FAF!!!
Hi Tom!
Cheers from Colombia. In fact, I'm really near from a place where a lot of granadillo trees come from. And I got to your video because I was at my local luthier's shop (who is an outstanding man) looking for a J45 style, that rings like a piano, with a lot of overtones.
Mahogany is not available here, because all Mahogany around is sent to USA or Europe. It is a shame, but we have all sort of really exotic woods near.
So, since I want a lot of overtones and we have a lot of granadillo near, I wanted to hear how a granadillo J45 sounds like. It seems to be like rosewood.I heard it is a little quiter. But if it has a good midrange, I will go with granadillo.
So, my question is: How you would describe a Granadillo back and sides guitar with spruce top? I really appreciate if you answer!! Thank you.
And... a nice aditional coment: Also, he introduced me to a very very very exotic wood that we call "Chonta", that comes from a palm leaf and its principal use is traditional marimbas, from the african tradition. It is just beautifull, like ebony but with some white lines. And, he told me it is the hardest wood around. And also, he showed me a really beautiful tonewood called "Nazareno", that seems to be "purple heart", another really hard wood that looks amazing. Do you know this woods?
Next monday, I will get a walnut back and sides, spruce top venezuelan cuatro, with "Nazareno" scratch plates and Granadillo fretboard. I'd like to show it to you!!
I really enyoyed your video! Looking forward to more content like this.
I was reading more info in a document from colombian goverment about Granadillo, and I found that the granadilo around here is called brosimum rubescens, and that is really weird. So I don't know if we're looking at the same wood, because it looks like it is the same. Do you know brosimum rubescens?
Thank you!
Strange as it seems, I found another document from colombian goverment that says that Granadillo near is Platymiscium pinnatum. I'm going to ask a biologist. It is really interesting how the lack of industrialization leeds to a poor knowledge about the nature around us. Also, I think that some local wood sellers can ship brosimum rubescens saying that is platymiscium pinnatum. It is really interesting.
Nice works
This Granadillo is very responsive to the tap tone and the sustain is insane...
cool huh?
Ur tap test certainly does the job & I appreciate the video, but as taught @ fodera if u held it lightly wit 2 fingers way in the top Corner about inch.5 from the edge it will give u more sustain & volume more accurate to its true functionality.
U can see in the video the closer he gets to the corner the deeper or more resonate the tap test gets…
Tonewood make zero difference to the sound of an electric instrument - discuss.
Wow. That sounds a bit metallic but I love it.
Granadillo is the next BRAZILIAN ROSEWOOD
It’s one of my top 5 alternatives for sure

What do you Think about "Padauk "..??
what is the top wood that you are going to pair with the grandillo?
What is the magic spray?
Alcohol!
... I mean we tap it the same way.
everyone does 😹
to tell you the truth how you do the tap tone is the right way!, why? Have you ever heard of the golden ratio? 0.618? Fibonacci? sound, frequency is pure mathematics, right would be to measure the piece, scratch the fibonacci points and play, that's it!
I’ve recently been experimenting with these ideas, we’re making a a video about it as we speak!
