I simply cannot make a decision. Let me start off by saying what I do know.
While tonewoods do influence the sound it boils down to the luthier - understood.
I understand that no two builds are alike. So we are speaking theoretically here if two exact identical builds existed, one all mahogany, one mahogany back/sides with a western red cedar top.
I'm aware that while a mahogany top can be pushed/strummed harder and pump out more volume, a red cedar top is characteristic of having a definite threshold that once you hit that's it.
So besides what I have already stated here, I'm interested in your experienced opinion what else are the tonal differences between all mahogany vs mahogany back/sides with a western red cedar top.
Much appreciated
