Quilted sapele may be an option, with properties somewhere between rosewood and mahogany.

Yes, this would have been my second choice!

Waouw many answers here, thanks for your advices, so cocobolo for many, ovangkol (I've tried an old Taylor GC4 and a Furch OM 21 SO and I liked both very much), macassar ebony waouw I had already noticed its great look, isn't that tonewood pretty expensive ? A few also mentioned koa, but isn't koa (all things being equal) a little bit light on the bass side, as maple can sometimes be? I already own a very cool mahogany guitar, and sapele sounds rather close to mahogany of what I know, so I don't need another one, though I looove mahogany.
I have never tried African blackwood, only Australian blackwood on Maton's guitar but those sounds rather thin whatever tonewood you put on them, way overbuilt in my opinion... ebony must be pretty expensive too I guess though I've heard some very good sounding one on YT

Its called a Gibson Advanced Jumbo. A very special type of tonewood found on a very remote island.
btw: Cocobolo is a cocktail, not a tonewood, they are all pulling your leg.

Haha, come on, you're a Furch guy, don't talk about Gibson, their quality is not what it used to be anymore I would never buy a brand new one, and if I did buy a Gibson jumbo it will be made with maple b and s, you know I'm a maple addict, and buy the way let me know when you try a Furch OM Sf at Huml

Just saw the post about Gibson. That's actually EXACTLY what I recommend you look into if you want midrange clarity. Forget about the back wood hunt. Also, there are a lot of fantastic new Gibsons being made. |

Since cocobolo IS rosewood, it's strange to see so many people suggest it as an alternative to rosewood.

I've seen that 'graph' many times - but I've never seen a sole luthier use or refer too it.

I like Dana Bourgeois' write-up. I wouldn't consider it gospel but I agree with most of it and I've seen it "borrowed" (straight-up plagiarized in some instances) an endless number of times online. |

No. On course.
It just struck me as funny that with all the woods mentioned -- including mahogany and sapele -- what woods haven't we mentioned? |

Maple and walnut
