Nyato wood body?

"What Is Nyatoh Wood?
In the Phillipines, Indonesia or India, nyatoh wood is considered a workable and useful hardwood for boats, cabinets and utility construction. It isn't particularly attractive or durable, but it's common. Nyatoh wood is increasingly finding its way into North America as low-cost outdoor furniture, flooring and veneer. In fact, environmental groups, such as Rainforest Relief, warn that nyatoh logging should be curtailed to protect forests and indigenous ways of life."

Unless I'm mistaken, Nyato (or Nato, as it is commonly known) has heretofore been reserved for very low-cost guitars (along with other woods like agathis).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nato_wood

Nato wood is a collective name for wood from Mora trees (the best-known species are Mora excelsa (Mora) and Mora gonggrijpii (Morabukea). This should not be confused with Nyatoh (an Asian hardwood from the Sapotaceae family with a very similar look and characteristic to Honduras Mahogany, though totally unrelated).

NoNo wood?

I like the look of it. No clue on the wood, wood generally not a deal breaker for me, but things like fretwork, etc. can be.

Looks killer. It would need to sound killer to keep though.

It's brown. I like the looks of it a lot. Usually like tort. I don't like that tort.

Never herd nato called nyatoh but, I see lots of places saying so. Interesting tidbit, MF description calls it nyato. No H on the end.

I was thinking mint, but I also think that white or red pearloid might not look bad.
