Is Tommy Emmanuel's original C-10 Brazilian Rosewood?

[Mikeymac]

Just curious - maybe John Jr. can confirm...as I can't find actual info online.

But I did run across something interesting I'd never noticed before - a previous C-10E Tommy Emmanuel Signature guitar? It has Madagascar Rosewood b&s... so, does Tommy's have Maddy Rosewood? Also interesting - this C-10E is 14 frets  to the body, not 12 - so the current signature guitar is more faithful to the original's critical specs...

Inquiring minds want to know, as someone posted on another forum that Tommy's original Larrivee C-10 is Brazilian - I just wanted to confirm.

I had once thought the current Tommy C-10 was BZ, and posted that, but John Larrivee quickly posted to correct me and said that Tommy's was East Indian Rosewood.

Aha!!!

I was sure I had read that somewhere on here, but couldn't remember where - thanks Mike ... can you link that post from John Jr.? I haven't been able to track it down.

Never mind, Mike, I found it. Thanks for helping me clear that up.
