Is that Andy Partridgewood or Danny Partridgewood?
 
Huge difference in texture and quality.

The only songs that fret correctly on it are I Think I love You and C'mon Get Happy, and you gotta wear a mullet

Here's what I found on Partridgewood,
from www.cocoboloinc.com (http://www.cocoboloinc.com)
 
Caesalpinia libidibia
Extremely heavy and dense chocolate brown to black colored wood from South America. 70 to 82 lbs per cubic foot. Takes a magnificent polish. Used for fine articles of turnery.

Funny no one mentions a gem like Making Plans for Nigel when Andy Partridge is mentioned.  
 
Love the www.cocoboloinc.com (http://www.cocoboloinc.com) link.
