I really like the koa set #21 but you have so many excellent choices, including the premium figure and dark, straight Brazilian RW sets.
I'll respond again with more ideas.

Like John says, your very nice set of 'tree' with adi top would be outstanding, and somewhat out of the ordinary for normal builds from you I've seen. Your braz at the '09 HGF was a luscious brunette; this would be an enchanting redhead.
"Tree" aside (of course I'd go there first) that set of curly Macassar really caught my eye as well. And I agree with JR and those who said a smaller bodied guitar, maybe with the depth of an OM but wedged for comfort, along with maybe a smaller bevel (a la Steve Saville), florentine cut (w/ mini bevel) - that would be outstanding.

You don't happen to have enough of the Tree to do an all mahogany guitar do you?

However, with the emerging growth of double tops this may actually be possible. I'm trying to get my "eyes" around how outrageous that would look... Phil

If it was a choice for a guitar for me I'd have a hard time between 'The Tree' mahogany, the tiger myrtle, and the satinwood. For a show, I think the most unique would be the satinwood. Even though 'The Tree' is rare, guitars built from it are out there and a lot of people know what to expect from it. With the satinwood you might be able to draw more of an interest in the wood's characteristics, and what you did with it, to get the tone. I won't suggest a top wood, but say to make it complementary to the satinwood. As far as a body size, a melodic fingerstyle friendly 15" lower bout, 4 5/16" depth, would be nice.

I would say a deep body OM, The Tree Mahog, high figure bear claw top (any bear claw Adi?), Macassar FB, bridge, rosette and headplate from The Tree, , bound in curly maple, Gotoh 510 Cosmo Black tuners.

I like the all Mahogany idea. Make the back and sides from the "Tree", and the top from "some other tree"
