Beatin a dead horse?

Garland,

These are just my opinions.
I'm really only interested in what the top wood is made from, the back and sides have very little to add or take away from the sound/tone.
The back and side wood material is more of a cosmetic thing to me.
One or two things that make a big difference to sound, tone, volume, and sustain are, make, size, body depth, size and make of strings, bracing, and most of all the person playing the guitar.

Garland,

This is pure coincidence, but last night I got two of my guitars out, very similar size, both Spruce top. One laminated Mahogany back and sides, the other solid Rosewood back and sides,
I was trying to see if I could hear any real difference, they both had the same make and gauge strings.
My personal conclusion was I couldn't hear any difference in sound, volume, or sustain, maybe someone else could, if they could it would be so miniscule as not to warent any price difference thats if they thought the Solid Rosewood back and sides guitar was any better.

Garland,

Yes there must be a difference, just as there is a difference in two different Rosewood guitars.
If you go down to molecular structure, there is no such thing as identical, but generally speaking to me there is no difference worth mentioning.
It all depends on how much more someone wants to pay for something so small.
