     Anyone who tells you that they can't tell the difference between Brazilian Rosewood and other Rosewoods has obviously never played one of these. Roy Noble has extensive experience in building great Brazilian Rosewood guitars for 50 years.

     Microphones love Roy Noble guitars - whether live on-stage, or in the studio. Many players have recognized this fact over the years. One of our largest groups of customers over the years have been recording studios, who tend to buy them as 'house guitars' for use on recordings. Noble's tone power seems to emanate from the guitar. In a 'guitar jam' you'll notice that the Noble is heard clearly 15 feet away from the jam circle. All of these above sound qualities are due to the Noble guitar voicing, which produces a very 'pure' tone that is sure of itself as it travels through the air to a microphone, or to a listener's ears. And... this happens because Mr Noble uses great tonewoods and has voiced every guitar for 50 years, with no helpers and no CnC machinery.
