I got a line on a enough sapele for a couple solid body blanks, but have no experience with as far as tone goes. I know it will look good finished has a nice mahogany-esque grain to it but I was hesitant to buy it with out knowing if it was going to sound like butt. from handling it and the tap tone I assume it will sound like mahogany but wanted some first hand experiences to validate my thoughts.

Thanks:cool:
