Chechen

Chechen (Matopium brownei)

Chechen is a species of tree that grows in Mexico and Central America. Though not a true Rosewood, it is often referred to as Caribbean Rosewood because of its habitat and characteristics. Chechen is a little known tonewood that is hard, dense and tight-grained and that can be found in colors ranging from amber to dark brown with beautiful figure. Given it offers a sustainable alternative to Rosewoods, we expect you will be hearing more and more about it.

  • Chechen is one of dozens of exotic and domestic guitar tonewoods that Jay works with. When ordering a custom guitar or ukulele you will have an opportunity to pick the exact set of wood that excites you from our inventory.
