To those who have played a 02 and 03MH models: How does the sapele sound different compared to the mahogany? Especially in the L series.

Many thanks!

I haven't played an 02 but I have played an 03 in sapele and thought it was a pinch richer over all.

:+1: That is my impression too. Sapele may have a bit more extension than SA mahogany.  And the striping is attractive to my eye.
