Wood used in 2009 Tonare Grand

[omega1]

I met a guy who has a PRS Tonare Grand dated 8-09. He doesn't know what kind of wood was used for the sides and back so I wanted to determine with certainty what kind of wood was used for the B/S. Were there different variations of the Tonare Grand using differnt kinds of wood in 2009? Is there any way to tell (Not sure if I can post pictures here).

I don't think the date is enough to tell what it was made from. I believe they have always used different woods for back and sides.

Uploaded a photo. Can you tell from this pic?

A Grand Standard would have been mahogany I believe, and that sure looks like it...

+1.

The other wood choice on the non-PS model was cocobolo. That doesn't look like cocobolo.

Yes, I think you and Whitecat have it. This is definitely not cocobolo.

The pic -looks- like mahogany, but they also made them with IRW, Koa, Cocobolo and other woods...

The standards I've seen were all flamed or quilted 'hog. This seems to be neither.

That looks like flamed mahogany to me. My 2009 Angelus Standard is the same wood for back and sides.
