This guitar was made using a set of Honduras mahogany I got from a friend who had had it for a very long time. Since his father was a wood supplier before him we can't know exactly when in came to America, but surely not before Columbus.  It is as rich a color as I have ever seen, and to my eye as beautiful as any figured Mahogany I've seen. As pretty as it is, the instruments sound quality is its greatest asset IMO.
