Howdy everyone, I am going to start a build based on the Gibson J200. So I was wondering what your opinion would be on using some nice Ribbon figured African mahogany for the back and sides, Sitka spruce top, Adirondack red spruce 5/16 bracing, mahogany kerfing, mahogany neck, rosewood bridge and fretboard. Will be using this acoustic for classic country, so looking for good bass and kinda mellow. Thanks in advance Bill |

Thanks, What do you think a jumbo out of mahogany will sound? Most all of the jumbo acoustics I have played in the past have been rosewood or maple. |

Your design and construction details will have a bigger impact on the sound than the type of wood. |

I did a straight up J200 copy with some crazy, flamey, ribbony, curly maple. MMMMM MMMMMM MMMMM ....... hard to beat the traditional stuff! |
