Australian Tonewoods are used almost exclusively at Pratley Guitars.

We have a real passion for using the native timber from our beautiful country. Using Australian tone-woods gives Pratley acoustic guitars a voicing that stands out among international brands. 

Using our local native timber species allows us to be much more environmentally friendly. Instead of importing timber from different countries all over the world we use a number of premium tonewoods that grow within 4hrs drive of our factory. This combined with the fact that our Bunya soundboards come from trees that can be harvested after 30-40yrs makes sustainability a big part of our guitars (spruce soundboards often come from trees 200-400yrs old).
