what is sapele material
An alternative tonewood that joined the Taylor fold over a decade ago. Itâs sometimes mistakenly referred to as African mahogany because it closely resembles the West African wood khaya, which is commercially known as African mahogany. Sapele is a highly sustainable, relatively fast-growing wood. Tonally, it does everything that mahogany does, with a little extra treble zing. Weâll be able to offer it for a long, long time.
