I'm also partial to certain Redwood Burl tops, quilted Ashes and Claro Walnut. |

I know that's awfully specific, but I really believe that certain body styles look different with woods. Just my .02

Having said that, some of those wood samples are quite beautiful...
But I will just play my plain jane mahogany. Good enough for me...Maybe. ;-)
