This is my first mandolin with a Redwood top. Back, neck and sides are Tasmanian Blackwood, Indian Rosewood bindings, Tiger Myrtle pickguard (Tasmanian), Lancewood tuning knobs. I must say I am quite impressed with this instrument. The wood combination looks great and the sound impressed me enough that I immediately ordered another 3 Redwood tops. The sound reminds me of my Goldfinch model mandolins that have King Billy Pine tops, probably not quite as much clarity, but with a more solid sound. I like it a lot.
