I agree with Tim, and would avoid set #2. Without seeing the sides, and without seeing the outline of the guitar to be built traced on it, I’d probably go with set #3 (assuming it's wide enough so I could avoid using the sapwood).

With set 1 & 2 to choose from I’d save the money and buy some other rosewood and be happy with it

No3 everyday for me... stunning. And I would ditch the sap wood and and if needed be happy to use the off cuts from the upper bout area to 'wing' the lower bout if extra width is needed. These woods (if they come with CITIES certification, and sadly so much does not.. especially in US) are precious and we should not be sacred of multiple pieces used etc... and its stunning

I agree with Tim that #2 is flat sawn.

Really appreciate all of your comment!!!
I am asking the luthier for more information on the wood properties and sides photo. All three have CITES permit, and the sides will be laminated. At this moment, #1 get my vote too.

I'd choose set #1, unless the sides are cr*p.

#1 is my favorite visually.

Clearly they differ visually, and they may also differ sonically. So I'd talk to the builder about the sound I want and ask him if the sonic characteristics of the three sets differ and if so which one would suit what we are trying to achieve in overall tone for the guitar.

Well, just on sight alone, after watching a video with Dana Bourgeouis choosing woods for tone. I'd choose #2. As he states, that straighter grain resonates better.
Other than that, on a custom build, I'd like to tap the wood and hear the tone differences. Don't know if I'd know the difference or not. Buy hey. I saw Dana do it.
