Question Of The Week: What Woods Do You Prefer On Your Instrument?

Everyone has different ears and prefers different tones. Some like the twang. Some like the warmth. But we all have a tone that speaks to us and keeps us playing the instruments that we play.

This week we go technical on our Question Of The Week, and ask...

What woods do you prefer on your instrument?

Do you like it to be all one wood? Do you prefer a hard or soft wood for the soundboard? Does the look of the wood matter? Do you prefer certain woods on one instrument but not another?
