I understand but have never considered wood "bling" myself. I think of bling as something added to the design like your name inlayed on the head stock or fingerboard. I guess if I wanted fancy inlay I'd want a more plain wood. I think having both is rarely a good idea.
There is something special about a fine flamed Koa or Maple. I find beauty in fine straight grained Brazilian Rosewood too...and prefer that over the curly Brazilian. I does some down to sound and "The Tree" has something very unique in Honduran Mahogany. It's got more power and complexity IMHO. It stands alone tonally. But then again I love the stuff so I will find praises to sing about. Even if only in my own mind.
