What kind of wood is used to make an acoustic guitar

The main woods that are found in various acoustic guitars are spruce, cedar, rosewood, mahogany, maple and Koa. Most tops on guitars are made of spruce. Spruce wood offers a balanced tone, which is the most popular choice for steel-string guitars. Some guitars are made of cedar tops. Most of these are classical guitars, and they offer a little brighter sound. The different sounds you hear from the guitars come from the wood on the back and sides. This is what gives each guitar its character. Most guitars use rosewood, mahogany, maple or koa. The rosewood wood gives the guitar a darker more bass-heavy sound. The mahogany gives a brighter crisper tone. Maple woods give a mellow or balanced tone. The koa wood tone is somewhere between the tone of rosewood and mahogany wood.
