Wood(s)

Since the guitar I'm expectin manana has *sapele" b an s- I thought a little investigation might be in order.

Yes, I'm aware this has been discussed before- but, the internet is a wonderful tool- sometimes, and explanations get more thorough- or complicated

This is what I found just a bit ago-

from the comments:

I, too, have only recently become aware of this wood. I am not a musician; I am a 3D enthusiast. I was looking for wood textures and came across sapele when looking for mahogany. Some sites referred to them as the same thing and they do look so very similar, but other sites claimed differences, so to be sure I googled sapele vs mahogany wood. Your site is third on that list.
It was interesting to find this information about the sound qualities as well as some other qualities discussed here. A very well done article. It adds dimension to my ideas as to what projects to use these two distinct woods for. Thanks again for the helpful information.
