I’ve had some wonderful mahogany topped guitars over the years, and wondered if the sapelle variant would craft an acceptable Sound board. Any thoughts on this? -B Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Most of the Sapele I've had is a lot denser than Honduran Mahogany. Of course, just like Hog, the density varies. I'd do a lot of homework first: density vs. stiffness. Just my $0.02 Kevin Looker |

I put one together for a local musician here on the Island about two years ago. Turned out very well. Honduran B/S and Sapele top. |

Yes it can be don, though I'd be more inclined to look towards khaya first... |
