No comparison. A TROM is far more dynamic. Much more going on in all the registers.

Same in my experiences. .

To quote ODDMANOUT: "I am the current owner of this fine guitar. It is a wonderful instrument...the finest blend of mahogany and rosewood tonal characteristics and all the signature Goodall complexity. This guitar in particular doesn't have the same type of bass as a TROM, but this is because of the palo escrito. i.e. it wasn't "meant" to. If this guitar were EIR, it would have that "BIG" bass."

A litle off topic, but I too find that Palo Escrito is like the best of rosewood & mahogany. I think it pairs very nicely with cedar & redwood. Goodall is one of the first builders outside of Mexico that brought this wonderful tonewood to my attention. I tend to favor his Palo Escrito Crossovers.

Goodall does wonderful things with Koa & Palo Escrito. Yes, LIVELY is exactly how I describe Palo Escrito. I would say lively, complex & snappy. To me it sunds like Koa on steroids. I see why you favored this Goodall.

Same here. Different ballpark.
