Advanced acoustic guitar question?
I have a question regarding tone differences in rosewood backs and sides
Can you distinguish any difference between the indian and brazilian rosewoods, and also, have anyone used a guitar comprised of ovangkol?
thanks, indrul1

ROSEWOOD: The traditional and most revered wood for guitar back and sides is Brazilian rosewood. This wood has a beautiful rich variety of brown and purple colors in it, and makes a warm rich sounding guitar with great resonance and volume. However, Brazilian rosewood is no longer available in commercial quality or quantity. As a result it now sells for astronomical prices, and the quality (see quarter sawing, above) is often marginal. My ear does not seem acute enough to hear a significant difference between Brazilian and Indian rosewood. Those who can distinguish a difference say that Brazilian has better clarity in the bottom and a almost bell like tone in the trebles. While I love this wood, I have reluctantly come to believe that it is not a good investment for new guitars simply because of the very high cost.. Its principal purpose is for collectors who wish to create an instrument reminiscent of the past. I do have a small supply of Brazilian rosewood and there are photos of some of it HERE. recently some of the suppliers are shipping in Brazilian Rosewood which was cut from stumps left over from old logging. this wood is "legal" in that no new trees were cut. Some of it is very nice. If the rumors of its continued availability are true, this may be a fine new source of good wood.
Indian rosewood has become the general substitute for Brazilian rosewood. Generally speaking, this wood is not as attractive as Brazilian (to my eye, at least). It has a decidedly purple color and the grain markings are coarser. Still, it is a beautiful wood, and, to my ear, sounds virtually the same as Brazilian. Some makers and musicians tell me they can hear the difference. Even they will admit that it is not a substantial difference, and I wonder if the difference is largely due to the fact that most Brazilian rosewood is in old, and thus well aged, guitars. Indian rosewood has two added advantages: it is less prone to cracking (a big problem in Minnesota) and it is grown in a sustainable fashion on plantations, which makes it environmentally superior. It is also affordable, although prices are going up.
Ovangkol: Ovangkol is a West African wood that is being used more often these days in the construction of acoustic guitars because it is less expensive and more available that many other woods. Ovangkol produces a very balanced sound: a combination of the sparkling midrange of mahogany or koa with the warmth of rosewood.
