To my ears, mahogany sounds warm, woody and focused. Rosewood has a metallic, ringing sound that I suppose is the fabled "overtones" we always hear about. The fact that I prefer mahogany and it's less expensive is just a bonus! In fact, my favorite guitar is an all mahogany, Martin 000-15m!

I have 7 guitars, 5 of which are more expensive than my 000-17 (Sitka + mahogany). It’s my favorite, all around - sound, resonance, body size, fret scale, playability. I have a D15 (all mahogany) series, too , but the smaller nut width always messes up my hands 😂 and a 0018-28 (rosewood) which is a wonderful guitar, but I just don’t like it quite as much.

I bought a Gibson Southern Jumbo from the awesome folks at Music Villa in Bozeman last summer. Spruce top and mahogany back & sides. No matter how many times I step away from it, I always come back. The punch from the spruce mixed with the warm mahogany tones is absolutely stellar. Wonderful combo of wood tones.

I made a mistake some years ago and sold my Martin 00018 because I was CONVINCED by everything I read that I needed a rosewood body. I purchased a few OM and OO size spruce/rosewood guitars including a 00028 trying to find my sound. Yes, beautiful sounding guitars but for my simple, fingerpicking acoustic singer style, I thought the mahogany was more to my liking. Still looking for another! Thank you for your videos.

People get a bit too caught up on woods in general I think. It's more to do with how the guitars are built. Guitars are a mystery sometimes too, sometimes you'll find a mahogany guitar that exhibits the qualities you would normally associate with rosewood, or vice versa. I think it's best to just treat every guitar as its own thing, regardless of the materials! Thanks for the video, great guitar too

Hey Jeremey. Spot on. These are the best OMs on the market today, period. I have nearly that exact same guitar (an SG-41-MV). I also have two other Bouchers, an SG-52-V (rosewood dread), and SG12-41E (12 string mahogany). I have had them long enough to compare, and will say that the SG-41 is now my #1 favorite guitar of all time, across any brand. I did change the MV pins from ebony to tusq as on the GM, which adds a bit of brightness. Although, I do prefer my SG-52 for bluegrass rhythm, but the SG-41 could easily compete in a jam too. It is loud!. All of these guitars were outstanding brand new, but they each have opened up even more and sound better over time, which I did not expect from torrefied tops.

@@rosewoodsteel6656 Congrats, I'm sure you will not be disappointed. When I bought mine it was a toss up between the rosewood and mahogany. I felt the mahogany sounded more airy and woody, while the rosewood tighter and reserved with more punch when you push it. I enjoy the mahogany when playing by myself, while my rosewood dread shines in a jam. They are different, but equally good. If you are ordering it, and are unsure, just check out Canadian retailer Brickhouse Guitars. Roger there records all of their instruments before sale on his website, so you can go back and hear different Bouchers side by side, even those that are sold. This helped me tremendously. Enjoy!

Mahogany is an amazing tone wood . I love Rosewood too. I think often the woods like Mahogany and Sitka Spruce are considered "inferior" as they are more easily available. My 2 guitars both of which I love are a 15 year old Bourgeois which is Adi and Madagascan Rosewood OM and a Sitka Mahogany LOO both very different , but both amazing guitars.

I am currently smitten by the tone of the Martin 000-18. That said I love my rosewood Larrivee OM-03R, but they also do mahogany very well and I also love that honey color too. By the way, I miss the older Taylor 500 series: cedar top with mahogany. They just ooze warmth; not like a Martin but in more of a smooth “mom crooning while baking bread in the kitchen” kind of thing. I am coming around to the gold hardware too, especially with rosewood or tortex binding. I have something similar and am thinking of swapping out the chrome tuners and having gold frets put on at its next refret. Call me crazy but I’d love it if they used amber as an inlay material.

When I had a luthier build me a custom 00 12 fret guitar, I chose Cuban mahogany from a tree felled in south Florida by Hurricane Andrew (1991?). It has as much sustain and overtones as my Brazilian D-28 and has a very balanced punch. Not as warm as a Honduras mahogany instrument, about halfway between both.

I say both if you can do it. I have a Boucher JP Signature, Rosewood, Adi and a Collings C100, Mahogany, Sitka. They are both amazing guitars and VERY different. The Boucher is a 12 Fret 000 with a cutaway open headstock, listeners cannot believe how big it sounds and at the same time articulate, almost piano like. The Collings is a puncher, but with silk gloves on it. I gig with both, use fingers and thumb picks, they excel at both. Each is a dream to play. Save up, and buy used if you can (I do), and wait for the right guitars to come up- and have fun and put smiles on people’s faces!

I think one of the perks of spending a lot of money on a guitar is that you can make sure you get what you want (craftsmanship + specs + feel + tone + branding +...). If mahogany is what you want, by all means, get it. Also, like all other woods, not all mahogany are equal; a piece of old growth mahogany that is properly dried and seasoned is gonna be more stable and resonant.

My first decent acoustic was a spruce/ rosewood combo. I then bought a carbon fiber guitar which is a very clear tone. I found the RainSong to be best paired with Martin Retro strings after trying pretty much everything. Guess what else pairs well with Retros? Mahogany. So now my wood guitars have been mahogany or sapele since. I like a pure and honest tone, which allows for personal dynamics more. Just one guy’s opinion.

I don't have time to watch right now but I had to comment after seeing your 'headline'. I have a Madagascar Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce boutique guitar by a famous, much lauded maker. It was very expensive. And I've had lots of rosewood guitars in the past, from new to vintage. I also have a mahogany Martin lower end guitar that I paid $750 for about 25 years ago. That Martin is the best guitar that I've ever had soundwise and for playability and it really isn't close. It's a somewhat rare 00016M from around 1990 and is 'The One' for me. And that's what people should seek--'The One' for them. By the way the boutique guitar was $5,200 in 2010 and it looks really beautiful on the rare occasions that I open its case.

Hey Jeremy, would love to get your take on the Bedell 1964. Have you had a chance to review or do you see a review in the near future?

My J-45 is mahogany, and it didn't cost anywhere close to that Boucher and is at least it's equal.

I’ve learned not to care about the wood. The only thing that matters is sound. Two of the exact same model guitars can sound very different. If you’re shopping with preconceived notions and only looking at certain woods or brands, you’re missing out.

every mahogany guitar that I've heard or tried sounds bright, dry, and balanced. i don't get the whole warmth quality people always talk about. on the contrary, rosewood is warmer sounding to me.

Confession, the first 10 seconds or so we're from when I was setting levels and hadn't turned off the EQ and compressor.

There's no waste of money on a Boucher. Mahogany guitars are wonderful.

Mahogany is the only nice wood imho. Bye bye Rosewood… (To be honest I don’t even like sloped shoulders and slotted headstocks)

Rosewood is too "twangy".
