Ok, I didn't know what else to call this thread. Tom Anderson has made a few guitars out of a seldom used (for guitar) tonewood whose name escapes me. It is said to have the tonal properties of mahogany mixed with swamp ash.

It's on their website somewhere under the guitar of the week archives, but they have no search function so I can't find it.

Anyone know ?
 
I'm thinking jelutong. Tyler still uses it he calls it Mamywo
 
jelutong was used on Allan Holdsworth's white Charvel... I always wondered what the hell it was!
 
Never heard of it.

Doesn't sound like it would make my top 10 list of body wood.
 
Emailed the man himself. Its called primavera. This wood has me intrigued.
