This is my first post here so hello to everyone! 


My question:  Does anyone know how different top woods affect the sound of a resonator guitar with multiple sound holes?  I know the density of the wood used has an effect on the tone, but I was wondering since the holes are apparently the dominating factor in the sound output, does it matter much what type of wood is used?  I'm inclined to think that the holes have more impact on the volume and less on the tone, and the wood chosen has more effect on the tone and less on the volume.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!
