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

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

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