Title: a good tone wood to use

Hey Gang:


Is Goncalo Alves a good wood to use as a top and bottom with a ASH core?

I have a guitar I put together with a Goncalo Alves top over Black Korina.  Gorgeous top.  I think most of the response comes from the Korina.

Bill, tgo

Mica:
Isn't Goncalo Alves similar to mahogany in tone. ? It works a lot like Mahogany and Koa !
