Hey guys, I'm new here and don't really know much of anything about lutherie, but from a visually aesthetic pov I absolutely love Cocobolo wood... it just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside every time I see the back of my (classical) guitar :) Here's a similar one, I'll try to post a pic of mine shortly. I'm not sure how conducive it is to the flamenco sound, but the wood is incredibly dense and strong and is super resilient to collisions, temperature changes, sweat, sun etc. My only concern after playing this guitar for many years is the yellow portion of the cocobolo - it looks beautiful along the seams, but it's really soft compared to the dark wood, and I fear it will ultimately be the cause of my guitar's demise. Oh well... it looks pretty damn good, though. Gabriel
