Great comments guys. Thanks.
Okay, I'm looking up hardwood and softwoods and came up with BALSA wood as a hardwood. I don't think that that classification really has anything to do with it's use for the body of a guitar. The article I quoted is about weight of the wood effecting tone. I guess hard and soft statements by me should be looked at from a weight perspective, since I misinterpreted what hard and softwood meant.
The article says to "think twice about using basswood with a Floyd." That's the next text from the article requested above. If you want the beginning of the paragraph I quoted, it goes like this: "In ascending order of heaviness, the most commonly used body woods line up something like this: swamp ash, basswood, alder, mahogany, maple, and regular ash. Alder was used for a lot of mid-'60s Strats. In the '70s, heavy woods such as mahogany, maple, and ash were the rage. Today..." See above.
What I meant to ask above was, doesn't Cedar fall inbetween Basswood and Alder in the ascending order of heaviness?
If two people here posted that Cedar has been used for other guitars, I am still considering it a possibility.
You can find some gold Floyds on eBay, where I found mine. It's not as good as the expensive black one I found for my B.C. Rich, but you get what you pay for usually and it does look great with a professional finnish.
Thanks for the website suggestion...
