Cheers Wokka, I do feel a bit sceptical when people say 'Oh yes, well maple has a slight zing in the top register that you wont get with bla bla bla and you'll here that tone on (insert recording by famous artist here)' I mean, wood comes from trees, no two trees are exactly the same, right? I do see that a harder species of wood might have more top end (for example) but I guess I'm curious about what the differences might be in the real world. I see from the galleries you've made a lot of guitars, I take it you don't hear much difference between otherwise identical guitars made from different woods?
