Not much response, huh? Myrtle is a very inexpensive wood, until you get into the musical graded stuff. As Breedlove once described on their site - it has "the power of rosewood, and the clarity of Maple. . . makes an excellent recording wood" or something like that.
I've done a couple of Curly Spalted Myrtlewood B/S and Spruce tops (who would've guessed). One of them looks like light Koa from a distance, I think the other one went to Japan. I did one with a Curly Maple neck, and the other with Hondo - I like the Hondo better, but just slightly.
I think Breedlove described it well. I'll definitely have to retain one in my arsenal - my supplier always has some nice stuff. I'm just waiting for another excuse to order some more. Right now, its Milo for the extremely special orders.
The only problem with Myrtlewood? Its name. Soundwise, I'd put it up against most anything out there. Given the choice between a Koa and Myrtle? No question there.
