Re: Solid spruce top, mahogany back & sides

Keith, I am going to have to disagree with you also on this one. I can
pretty easily hear the diff between Maple, Mahogany, & Rosewood back
and sides. I do agree with you about tops though, it is certainly
easier to hear the diff between say a cedar top and a spruce, or a
solid & laminate top. My ears would put Koa between Maple & Mahogany.
