Sound Pure's Take
We have only seen a few of these rare beauties at SoundPure and this Brazilian model definitely sounds better than the last one, to my ears. I also prefer the plain redwood top as opposed to the fancy flamed redwood that our previous model had. The top being flamed or plain is a minor detail in the scheme of things. The major details are the superb craftsmanship, exotic and rare Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, and the complex tone of this fine boutique acoustic.
This one really speaks to me. It scares me! I mean that in the best way possible. It's lively, bold, and responds well to a variety of dynamic playing. Not all Brazilian Rosewood guitars are created equal. This one is definitely one of the best I've ever heard!

Redwood is similar to Cedar, warm, rich, and complex. It exhibits a slightly darker tone with less pronounced bass and more headroom than Cedar.
Generally considered the best tonewood for steel stringed instruments; Brazilian Rosewood is a highly prized choice for back and sides. Endangered and becoming very rare, Brazilian Rosewood has everything other rosewoods have to offer and more. A rich powerful sound full of overtones and depth.
