you are absolutely right,but i believe that hearing people having gone to one "wrong" way can help you avoid it...Just for it..Of course i make guitars .My curent project is a Tele with a Cedar of LEbanon (over 250 years old),old mulberry neck and wenge fretboard.I am in the stage of finishing.BUt i have not played with others to gain experience and see the difference.....
so,can you tell me your opinion from experience if the woods itself play rolle in the tone???
