That was very nice. Just think how good they might be if only they could afford a second guitar!

every new guitar I get is like a pretty voluptuous brunette and I'm happy & content. then one day, I suddenly see another pretty voluptuous brunette maybe with curly hair , and she's smiling at me ...
I kind of go for red-heads, myself. Well, and brunettes, too. Right now, I'm seeing a blonde, but I just hate it that she dyes her roots black.

I'm not a fan of vans, but you can pull it off if you've got a Mazda MX5 Miata (am I correct?) parked next to the van in the garage.

I realize that this is an old thread, but, it is still on the first page, so....
I've been following the rosewood vs. "rosewood" discussions on the Gibson forums for a while and have become quite curious, myself. Now that I'm retired, I thought I would dust-off and exercise my old biology degree. From my exhaustive research (primarily, just digging around on Wikipedia):
There are over 400 "families" of flowering plants. Within these 400+ families are an estimate of 250,000 to 400,000 different species of flowering plants. One of the 400+ is the family Fabaceae which contains 6 sub-families. One of these sub-families is Faboideae. Within this sub-family are many genera, two of which are Dalbergia and Platymiscium .
(My point in all of the above is to suggest that Dalbergia and Platymiscium are relatively closely related genera. I imagine that hard-core Brazillian rosewood fans might disagree with the previous statement and, especially, with what follows below, but, in my defense, the term "relatively" is a relative term.)
Some species of Dalbergia are considered "true" rosewoods, including the desirable Brazillian rosewood, Dalbergia nigra. In fact, the only "true" rosewoods are found in the genus Dalbergia. Some genera (other than Dalbergia) in the sub-family Faboideae are still considered "rosewood", just not "true" rosewood. Granadillo (one or more species of the genus Platymiscium) could be considered "a" rosewood, just not "true" rosewood.
I found no documented evidence to suggest that Richlite is related to either Dalbergia or to Platymiscium.
