Hmmm... I own one that was made for me a few years ago by Mike Hauver and I think it has a very distinct and pleasing tone. I wouldn't compare it to the lushness of rosewood or mahogany but it serves me pretty well. The top however is made of spruce. I can't wait to hear what she'll sound like in another 15 to 20 years.
This isn't the best recording but you can get an idea of how it sounds.
