Nice first post. Welcome to the forum.

Why not address the issue presented of different woods sound different in guitar making?
I really wish you nay-sayers would read what I write. This is from my article Surface Reflectivity:

Quote:
I've seen people argue that wood adds a pleasing quality to a room in the same way wood affects the tone of a fine violin. But that's a false analogy because the thin, resonant wood in a violin is meant to vibrate and add pleasing overtones. Versus wood on a floor or wall that is much thicker, and is anchored solidly to the wall or floor backing. Indeed, resonances in a musical instrument are desirable and necessary, but good listening rooms must aim to avoid all resonances as much as possible.
