I like Brazilian Rosewood guitars, but I got most of mine before other Rosewoods were becoming more popular (besides EIR, of course). I also have a Madagascar Rosewood, a few Cocobolo, and a few EIR guitars which I like as well, so I don't know how my collection would have changed if I started it more recently.
I also like other woods ... but they definitely sound different than Rosewood, and in general, I prefer Rosewood the majority of the time ... but lately I've been in a Koa type of mood.
Oh, and don't get me started on topwoods ... lately it's been Redwood with a splash of Adirondack on the side ... though the European Spruces have a pretty strong foothold in there, too.
Variety is good.
