Yes, tonally it is the same/very closed, visually some madagascar gives (sometimes) the famous spider webbing pattern that made brazilian famous, but their two different species and in fact I'm pretty sure this is madagascar ;) I saw a lot of madagascar exactly like your wood (in the past, very rare today), but I never saw brazilian like this.
Although, Once again, very nice wood and work ;)


Please,my friend... How can you say you are sure? Unless Madagascar smells the same there is no way this is Madagascar.
I have many sets of Brazilian as well as Madagascar and one of my best friends has over 100 sets of Brazilian Rosewood on hand. I can assure you I know the difference! You can have your opinion but there is no way you can be sure by looking at a picture...that I'm sure!

Aaaaaa, I've seen better ;)


















OK, just kidding of course my Friend! That is one stellar looking guitar. I'd love to come to your shop just to learn how to do those beveled arm rests.....among other reasons :)
