I am in love with a lady called Sapele 🥰
« on: March 30, 2019, 04:33:40 PM »
So...finding out an interesting affair with Sapele. It is warm with great mids like my mahogany BUT the lows and highs come out a bit more, not like the rosewood but less and awesome too.

Sometimes less is more 😀

Anyways, really digging it..pun intended, it responds really well

Sapele is an excellent tone wood. I prefer not to compare it to mahogany, because I think it has a personality all its own. Glad you're enjoying it!
