There are many varieties of woods you can choose from. Each wood has it's own
acoustic properties that will alter the timbre of the instrument.
Some suitable woods would be:
- Maple
- -Rock
- -Quilted
- -Flamed
- -Birds-eye
- Mahogony
- Ash
- Swamp Ash
- Alder
- Purpleheart
- Koa
As a rule, the harder the wood, the more sustain you can achieve, and the
softer the wood, the more warm the instrument will sound.
