I'VE BUILT A LOT OF GUITARS USING CLARO WALNUT AND THEY ALL SOUND GREAT THE PICKUPS WORK JUST FINE.

in my opinion cedar is a great body wood, top wood, back wood, or short reinforced guitar neck wood, the old growth is going to be softer for tops, and backs. Yet its strong enough for 10 string wide necks though, if you know what your doing. the tone is incredible and requires no time to come into its fully matured sound in acoustic and electric guitars and stays that way, other woods take a long long long time of frequency passing through it to sound in full maturity many years later.

Better pickups and amp give better sound.

IT DARKENS WITH FINISH LIKE MOST WOOD DOES.

Cut the and let the dry for one year

THERES A LITTLE MORE TO IT THAN THAT. YOU NEED TO ROUGH MILL THE LUMBER TO A COUPLE INCHES THICKER THAN WHATEVER YOUR FINAL PEICE WILL BE, STICKER THE BOARDS (STACK THEM WITH SPACERS UNDER EACH BOARD) SO AIR FLOW CAN GET TO EACH BOARD, YOU CAN PAINT OR WAX THE END GRAIN SO CRACKING WILL BE LIMITED. WRAP PLASTIC SHEETING AROUND THE STACK SO RAIN DOESN'T GET IT WET BUT LET AIR FLOW IN THE SIDES. IT TAKES A YEAR AN INCH TO AIR DRY WALNUT. AFTER YOU USE A MOISTURE METER TO SEE THAT YOUB HAVE YOUR BOARDS PROPERLY DRIED START ACCLIMATING THE LUMBER TO YOUR SHOP OR WORK SPACE. IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG USUALLY ABOUT A MONTH WORKS IN MY SHOP. THEN MILL OUT YOUR BLANKS, CLAMP THEM OVER NIGHT TO A FLAT SURFACE AND THE NEXT DAY THEY SHOULD BE READY TO MAKE A GUITAR. OR JUST GO TO A HARDWOOD STORE WHO BUYS KILN DRIED LUMBER, TAKE IT HOME, ACCLIMATE IT TO YOUR SHOP FOR A WEEK AND GET AFTER IT.

YES or kiln dry to speed it up a notch. some of the best pieces for acoustic guitars have been drying 20 plus years. unless you get old growth salvaged tonewood, its softer than norm only around 350 to 500 on the janka hardness scale and is still a hardwood type. @@Ibaneddie76

Have you tried google? I'm sure you could find places there otherwise go look through lumber yards. I rarely buy "instrument" wood anymore because it tends to be overpriced for the same quality you can get at a lumber yard.

Doesn't matter. Amp, pickups, and picking intensity do

Con Petropoulos try it

FALSE.

FALSE. its proven dynamically, the frequency response and curves on an analyzer revealed the truth all have been seeking to end the arguments of all arguments, because it showed definitively as visually seen on a dynamic full spectrum frequency analyzer, just as my father in heaven predicted, and with all that idiscerned, the behaviors and signature response and decibles throughout the frequency band are ALL different for each type of wood just like its own sonic fingerprint in a solid body electric guitar SIGNAL from the output jack. because pickups are not an electric absorber nor conductor through the strings, it is an actual microphone, just like a mic you sing through , with a magnetic transducer etc. and its on youtube. no pun , you gotta see it, to believe it.

One born every 3 weeks.

For sure everything makes a difference, question is how significant is it and is one 'better' than another. In my opinion, although one might be able to hear a difference; who's to say which is better; just different. That having been said; I think most would agree that a chipboard guitar would sound pretty crap.

@@mateusseer5353 The corrugated cardboard Strat still sounds like a Strat.
