I think the Goncalo Alves would be too light in color, from samples I've seen.

I don't know if I have the nerve to pull the Palo's neck to try this incoming rosewood neck on there. I wish I'd bought 2 Palos so I could mess with the less well set up one; this one is awful nice as is.

FWIW, I hear there's a NOS Palo Escrito 60's Classic Tele in a Fender dealer on the North side of Gulfport, Mississippi available for sale. Medium weight, 3 piece alder body, bookmatched veneer, not too bad looking. NOT $ 449 I'll bet. And there's the one I played in Jacksonville Beach, FL at the George's that's probably still there because the price was jacked up.
