The more I got into guitar building the more I realized that there are often very good reasons why those who came before us used what they used for guitar making...
I completely agree with John and a neck heavy acoustic basically sucks.... Be one a smoker, toker, drinker, or needing to turn the page on some music or even scratch your arse.....
a neck heavy guitar is a pain....I've played rosewood necked PRS's and liked them too so I can relate, J. But I would never use rosewood on an acoustic.
There is also the issue of the finite amount of vibrational energy that an acoustic produces vs. our ability to turn our electrics and amps to 11. As such my hunch is that any benefit, perceived or otherwise, of a rosewood neck may be much more realizable with electrics (with a shoulder strap) than with acoustics. Can't prove it, much of what we discuss is difficult to have empirical data for, but that's my hunch.
Maybe think 16 nice rosewood bridge blanks instead?
I worry about when Honduran Mahogany gets even more scarce because that's my favorite neck wood.
The guitar its self is a little on the heavier side but not to much so. The Greenfield guitars I played seemed much heavier.
