In a world of increasing use of "substitute" or "new" woods on instruments does anyone have anything on Nyatoh? Supposedly an Indonesian and Malaysian hardwood used sometimes in place of mahogany. There is a UK guitar maker using some non-traditional woods that don't faze me but this one has me scratching my head. On the flip side I had a chance a few months ago to handle a tele body made of Paulownia and was not impressed. Its super light but seems like it may dent easier than basswood. Thanks for any insight on Nyatoh.
