Thanks for passing that on Clarkey. Very interesting. I would not have expected that result. Kinda turns everything on its ear and it appears to be very well researched.
To cut to the chase:
We found that, for this particular design, the sound quality produced by guitars made with tops of low density and low stiffness Sitka spruce were consistently and significantly preferred over spruce of higher density and higher stiffness.
