I was going to ask the same question...who's the builder? That could be brazillian, but it looks quite light in color and it may have been a lower grade of brazillian.
Other than that, I really can't say. The asain and japanese guitar markers often use unusual woods that you don't see much, so it might be a species not used much here in the states if it's a foriegn guitar.

I wasn't going to post the maker's name so as to not influence opinions but it seems to more important info than I thought.
The guitar is a Washburn D24S Limited Edition from 1991. "Hand Made" in Korea. I requested info from Washburn. They have no specs for the wood on this model in their database.

Washburn used alot of Ovankol particularly in the 90's. Hard to tell by the photo though I would need to see a close up.

A majoity of those korean guitars are laminated wood to begin with, so I don't think it's going to make a huge difference what species that really is.

In Washburn nomenclature D24S indicates the 24 style for them and a solid spruce top. Back and sides were laminated. Trying to remember more about it. The D21S was rosewood.

It doesn't look like Rosewood in person (I realize everyone can only see the photos). It has too much of an orange-ish hue to it. May be just the stain. I brought up some pics of Ovangkol on the web and I think that looks to be correct. Thanks for all the input.

I have a Washburn D21SZ that has zebrawood back & sides. The model # does have a Z in it - are you sure yours doesn't?
