Default Martin 00-16e

Does anybody here have any play time on a new Martin 00-16e with the Granadillo back/sides?

I'm not really familiar with that tone wood, and am curious as to how it compares to mahogany or rosewood.

I own a 000-16E, and have played a 00-16E. Both have granadillo sides and back. Granadillo doesn't sound like either rosewood or mahogany, but it is much closer to rosewood. A bit more briskness in the sound.

If you prefer rosewood, you will probably be happy with granadillo.
