Since many ask for the differences in sound of specific woods, here's a summary of various woods used in guitar making and their general tonal properties. Of course sound preference is all subjective as we have found out by the varying opinions here on strings and wood. Knowledge of wood though is a good place to start in understanding the combinations of body and top combinations and the sound the instrument produces.
