Hi, i'm new here so sorry for any mistake i may make.
A few days ago i was reading a site about building guitars were the (supposed?) luthier says that when he started making guitars he didn't have the money to buy the "usual" guitar building woods so he started making them out of Oak, Beech and Meranti.
What I would like to know is if anyone here had used theese woods for more than finishing (like tops and such), how the sound like, can't find anything with google...
Another thing less important is, what is Meranti??? I can't find any translation to Portuguese, nor references to it.
P.S. - sorry if the post is on the wrong place.
