I asked the shoppe that i bought my acoustic recently to make me comparison sound clips..as I saw George Lowden loves the Redwood/African Blackwood combination.
One was a 050 Master Sitka/Koa..and other Redwood/African Blackwood F50..
The large Koa sounded brighter & more open and impressed me right away..the African BW sounded boxy and when I heard it ,it was "oh no..
Don't go by the names..better try in person or at least some how hear & compare it to something you know.
If were looking for a Braz Rosewood replacement Id probably have one made in Madagascar Rosewood.
