I can't describe how beautiful the overtones are on a good spruce top rosewood back sides guitar. Just a simple chord is so complex and beautiful acoustically and with a little chorus it becomes magical.

Very informative thank you. One can clearly hear how the mahogany blends sounds together in a warm mellow way, whereas the rosewood/spruce articulated notes more clearly and shimmers beautifully with so many rich overtones.

Nice clear explanation, Meg. I prefer Engelmann spruce to Sitka (on my four Crafter guitars), with their mahogany, rosewood and maple backs/sides making for different sounds and responses. The maple one is loud, with little variation whereas the others respond more dynamically. I have a great Tanglewood solid spruce/solid rosewood dreadnought, but my go-to for vocal accompaniment is a Crafter GAE-8, spruce/mahogany guitar.

After listening to Megan for some time (via these informative vids) and thinking about how I play (most always with fingers, not pic) I am a Mahogany/Rosewood back and sides with Ceder top kinda guy. Thank you, Megan. Cheers!

Gibson/Epiphone Doves have maple sides and back as well. I find it makes the guitar sound brighter rather than warmer.

Your string for the mahogany need to do some waxing as the squeeking sound hurts the play. I still prefer brazilian rose wood or cocobolo for the sides and back paired with Solid Ardirondack top.

Do they really use Port Orford cedar (another name for Lawson cypress) as a guitar top wood? Nearly always it's western red cedar. Lowden use it a lot, as does Furch. Mahogany and a lot of other tropical hardwood species are in fact evergreen. It tends to be temperate hardwoods like maple which are deciduous. Lots of builders make solid back and sides walnut guitars. Not just very high-end either; again, Furch, and Taylor's American Dream guitars include some with solid walnut. Laminates are associated with cheap guitars and they use all sorts of woods.

13:03 So would that mean walnut's less pleasing soundwise, as "layered" should sound like other laminates?

Which do you think is a mellower and warmer topwood, koa or flamed maple? (The models I'm looking at both have mahogany back and sides).
@michealjoseph9943
Жыл бұрын
Koa should be warmer than maple. Flame maple is usually veneer or layered. Koa can be either solid or veneer or layered. Do your research to make sure your getting what you want.
