At $2500 for a 3"X9"X40" (that's inches!) board that works out to ~$330/bf. Got thin kerf blades? Ripping one of these boards with a 1/8" blade would cost ~$35 just to make sawdust:swoon:
I've played some old Martin and newer Taylor and Martin Brazilian Rosewood Guitars. They're very, very nice. Not sure I would have noticed any difference had I been blindfolded compared to the Indian Rosewood Taylor I normally play. If you've got money, this wood used for the sides and backs combined with old growth, QS Red Adirondack Spruce top make the ultimate Flat Top guitar from a tone and volume perspective. A well built Brazilian Rosewood guitar will start at ~$10,000 and go up past 50k. Of course you can always get an official Esteban off QVC:rotflm:
