I favor cocobolo because no matter from which builder you buy a madrose guitar, there is a better chance than not the wood was harvested illegally -- or at the very least, harvested at a time when a bribe opened up the export process just long enough for a poacher to profit while Malagassy and the rest of us lose.
I don't care if it sounds better on a guitar -- which it does to me -- I like madagasscar rosewood better in a tree.
