Was wondering if Alembic has ever made an instrument with this wood for a top. I recently got some that I'm turning (literally) into Magic Wands, and it's gorgeous wood.

It could be really nice:
(Brosimum Rubescens- Central & South America) Also known as Satine and Cardinal Wood for its strawberry red to crimson red coloring

but the sound ?
From what I can find, cardinal wood is the same as blood wood. And the Bloodwood guitar in the custom vault may be the most stunning Alembic ever, IMHO.
the stage tribute has a standard bloodwood top: http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/403/63075.html?1238467092 (http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=336)
