when quartersaw you could use redwood as a top, many luthiers use it for steelstring guitars, and I believe it has been used on some classical guitars aswell. I can't recall seeing it used for backs and sides. I dont know about exact sound properties since ive never build with it, but from what ive read it learns more towards a warmer sound. if you do some searching on internet you should be able to find some better explenation about tone properties for redwood. A three piece back shouldn't be a problem when properly jointed. There are plenty of builders who have build with 3 and even 4 piece back.
