JW might not be happy because there is not Cocobolo choice on there. It was a tough call between Koa and BZ RW

Sorry JW!

I think if anybody played mine (which I wouldn't let them!), they would change their vote to Brazilian!

I agree with with you taylorman. My first was a Koa, hince the nave Christian Koa. But Should cnage over to Christian BZ RW after I boutht my custom 510BZ. What a tone wood! But Koa is great too. I did play one of those cocobolos, nice but extremly heavy!! Great sound though, right up there with BZ RW and Koa IMO.

There's nothing that sounds like a great Brazilian ... and I've been having Brazilian in my brain lately ... and you all know why.

Of course, I think koa sounds heavenly ... and maple rings bright ... and ziricote and cocobolo are becoming favorites ...

Taylorman,
What I think we have here are guitarists who are happy with the tonewood they have, or have ownded in the past. If you have never owned or played (extensively) a high-end guitar in Brazilian, you really can't respond effectively. I think the poll reflects the tastes of the guitars currently used or maybe 'tasted'. East Indian is a nice tonewood, but "I knew Brazilian, and East Indian is no Brazilian"! Perhaps a better poll might include responding ( on a scale of 1-5 or 1-10)to the tonewoods you have owned and or played (extensively) over the years. Needs and venues played being equal, those who have owned a Brazilian and Mahogany could vote Brazilian 9, Mahogany 7, etc. It would be an interesting poll. Just my thoughts. <>< Ron Lonesome Picker (NC)

East Indian is no Brazilian? Really now, could that be true?
You know, there's got to be a reason that you keep hearing "XXX sounds just like Brazilian." That includes Ziricote, Madagascar Rosewood, Honduras Rosewood, and others have slipped my mind. However, I have yet to play one that has the resonance and complex tones of a great Brazilian ... not saying they aren't out there, but I just haven't found it yet.Now, I've played Brazilians that do nothing for me ... and I've played East Indian that blew my mind ... But when I sit down to play at home, the ones taken out the longest are Brazilian ... closely followed by koa.
