Tonewood. Is it real, is it not?
This is a topic that will launch any forum online into a frenzy, yet there are experiments done and papers written to either side of the debate.
So why not throw my own experiment into the mix! I built four guitars, used all the EXACT same hardware and electronics with only the woods being different and tried to figure out if there really was a difference.
To the examples of written papers on the topic:
"Comparison of the Vibration Damping of the Wood Species Used for the Body of an Electric Guitar on the Vibration Response of Open-Strings" joint study written by Tony Ray & Jasmin Kaljun (University of Maribor) and Aleš Straže (University of Ljubljana), 2021.

"Frequency responses of wood for musical instruments in relation to the vibrational properties" written by Teruaki Ono (Department of Physics, Faculty of Engineering, Gifu University), 1995.
