I have one flamenco maple back and was quite surprised by the sound. Clear, but still deep and rich. Very percussive, light weight guitar. Not like rosewood, but it seems to sustain a bit more than cypress by the same maker. In J. Ramirez III's book, he talks in the flamenco section about his grandfather's "Tablao" model guitar, the prefered choice of the pro flamenco players in the early 1900's. The one he owned was made of maple surprisingly. They considered it a "blanca" I think, because of the color. Anyway, you might want to try some of the Bolivian rosewoods. My friends picked up some guitars from their home town (Cochabamba), and the guitars look and sound great. I like the look better than Indian, and the sound is good too. These guitars were not Pau Ferro, but it looked like that. And I am thinking it is not so famous wood, and not so expensive. My friends said there are MANY such woods that would be good for guitars, even not yet explored. They have one called "Jacaranda", but it is NOT the famous Brazilian Rosewood, but a much lighter color. Ricardo

I believe Conde Hermanos make a German Maple version of the A25/R: Yup, they do. The pic TANunez posted above is the back of a Conde Felipe V in maple. They make an A25/R in maple, too, flamed or quilted. GailP, I'd never heard of Jose Oribe's guitars, but I checked out his website, and they're really beautiful. They are really expensive, though! $13,000-14,000 for the top models! Travis.
