<p>If Sapele is a bit harder that H. Mahogany I think it might be a bit better anyway. BTW, H. Mahogany is available here but it's getting expensive. </p>

<p>Thanks Larry, I am sure now that it will sound good, I love Epiphone guitars when they was made by Epaminoda Statopulos. He was magic.</p>

<p>I had a '36 Epiphone Olympic (think David Rawlings and Gillian Welch) for a while that had mahogany neck and B&S with a red spruce top. It sounded very good. I can remember if the back and sides were laminated, but I doubt it. I wish I hadn't sold it... .</p>

<p>Alberto,</p>
<p> I don't know if they are available over there but here there are old Kay and Harmony archtop guitars that were built with mahogany. They have a nice mellow sound to them and, once the setup to play properly are pretty nice for low end guitars.</p>
<p> I haven't built anything with it but I understand sapele is a bit harder than Honduran Mahogany which should work pretty well with a spruce top. Good luck. </p>
