I don't have the opertunity to hear the guitars made with various woods for their soundboards.
Let's take 2 B/S sets and place various tops on them
All we will change are the tops, theoretically the tops placed on Macassar will also be placed on a mahog. body.
For each body, using sitka spruce as the control, How will each top sound different than Sitka on each body:
Redwood, W cedar and other cedar tops, mahog., and other non typical woods.
Confused-I am.
Thanks

Yup, I'm with Hesh on this one...

Just gotta try the Sinkerwood one of these days and see how it sounds!

Hesh,
How would Carpathian spruce fit in to your mix?
