How much should a Rosewood Dreadnought Weigh?

[Tom West]

John Hall: Interesting comment about Sapele. Have only built two guitars from Sapele and certainly they were very good guitars. One was a dread and was certainly better than any I have built from Mahogany. To me Sapele is between Mahogany and Rosewood. Most folks look down their noses at Sapele, but I think they are missing a good bet. I would not be afraid to use it again or to recommend it to anyone.
