Sound Pure's Take

It's a cavern of overtones in here! Seriously, when you play a chord with open strings it's like holding down the sustain pedal on a piano. This is old-school Brazilian rosewood, folks. Dark and deep like the terrain it came from. Straight-grained with a slight pin-curl. The Addy top rebounds everything you throw at it with amazing precision and dexterity. I played it curled up in the corner and never wanted to leave. The woods are classic, the build suggests a beautiful future.

From McPherson Guitars

Brazilian Rosewood: 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.

Adirondack Red Spruce: Some call it the holy grail of top woods. It was widely used on pre-war and vintage instruments. Adirondack has a crisp, clear tone with high headroom and strong fundamental content.
