I own several Brazilian Rosewood bodied guitars and have owned quite a few others. The great ones are magical instruments that I would gladly pay a lot of money for. I've also had some that were far from great, including from top builders like Martin and others.
Personally, I would be reluctant to pay a huge premium to have a BRW guitar built - not knowing how it would turn out. However, when I play one of the magical ones, all bets are off.
