                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I suspect it's one of those things that's pretty dependent on how the builder uses it, not necessarily predictable across the board. (And woods can vary a great deal from piece to piece of the same species!) Ask a luthier you'd trust to build your guitar, and get him to build it. <br><br>(Fine tone wood advice from a guy who's delighted with the $140 plywood bodied Chinese resonator guitar he got today.)  :lol:]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I was wondering what everyone thinks of the tone woods Madagascar Rosewood and Cocobolo Rosewood. I know both are highly praised, but I am a Brazilian guy and never spent to much time with either wood. However, I feel as though soon Braz will probably be a thing of the past or just too expensive to commission guitars with. (at least for me ) Just on Sound (I know coco looks amazing) Which do you think is closer to the tone of Braz? I have heard conflicting statements, and most luthier descriptions have one or the other as the closest thing to Braz, but I cannot seem to find a definitive (or close to it) answer. What does everyone think???]]></content:encoded>
