I'm planning my next purchase once the Fall semester gets going and paychecks start coming in again. I've made some decisions (at least about this purchase) but still have some to make. In short, I need some suggestions.
Decisions: Solid wood, Concert size, probably a Kala (trim and wood selection have driven this decision)
Help needed: Which wood? I'm leaning toward mahogany or lacewood but could be convinced otherwise (price is a consideration). Mahogany is traditional, known to be stable, and not flashy. Lacewood is attractive, but I don't know much more about it. The spruce tops on the Kala lacewood models appeal to the guitar player in me. Can anyone help me with information on stability and tonal quality, especially in comparison to mahogany? Acacia is also a possibility, but I'm sort of holding that for an eventual tenor (no, I don't really have a good reason for that, it just seems right at the moment). I'm also open to other suggestions if anyone has a favorite wood that I haven't thought of.
