Ive been doing some research on that...Seems as though most woods (sitka spruce, rosewood etc.) work well, but it needs to say solid wood in the specs especially for the top of the guitar. If its not solid, it will be laminate wood which has glue and deadens the tone. If the back and sides are solid, the guitar will sweeten with age, but that is the main difference. Solid woods. There are many expensive Guitars even up to a martin costing 33000 dollars, but mostly the reason for this outrageous price is the random woods used to make it.

∙ 16y agoThe best brace wood is Adirondack (red) Spruce. The material yields excellent tone qualities and is very strong. For the most part the braces in a high quality guitar are usually made from the same material as the top. Sitka, Engleman, European, Carpathian, etc. Hope this helps!! Caleb Smith

∙ 12y agoSolid Sitca Spruce on top and if possible Brazilian Rosewood for back and sides.
mahogany neck and ebony fretboard and bridge
As Br. Rosewood becomes rare then Indian Rosewood is the next choice and most commonly used.
no plywood, no laminates only solid tops backs and sides for rich tone with good projection and bass, mids and treble freqs with authority!!

Which is good -acoustic or semi acoustic?
An acoustic guitar produces sound via the "sound hole" cut out in the wood under the strings on the main part of the guitar. This is a nice acoustic sound. For a fuller, higher volume and amplitude sound, with the same acoustic-type sound one would would a semi-acoustic. This is an acoustic guitar that has the same kind of volume boost built in, as one would find on an electric guitar. It is important to note that the sound made with a semi-acoustic is still quite different from an electric guitar, even though one would need an amp to play the semi-acoustic.
