Electric wise woods that can/are include: Body Mahogany, alder, ash, basswood, NATO, poplar, maple Cap (if any) Maple (flamed, quilted, popeye, burl, spalted, plain, etc) Neck Mahogany, maple (incl fingured), NATO Fingerboard Rosewood, maple (incl figured maple), ebony, sometimes bubinga Then theres various metals including chromium, nickel, steel etc used for the hardware. Then we have plastic used for things like the pickguard and stuff.
Mahogany, teak, ebony, and rosewood are four common woods that come from the tropical rainforest.
Cheaper models use Alder, Ash, Maple, and even Synthetics. More High-End models use Mahogany, Spalted maple, Quilted Maple, Flame Maple, Brazilian Koa, and Peacock Koa.
the main woods are mahogany, maple and rosewood. although their are exotic woods like ovangkhol, and woods like the Brazilian or Indian spruce.
Mohagony is not as responsive to mid-range frequencies as Alder, which has a large swirling grain pattern and rings that adds to the stiffness and complexity of tones. Koa is oilier than Mahogany and has highs that are more in the upper mid-range. Rosewood is an oilier wood as well which dampens some of the highs. Spruce is the most full frequency body material used for guitars. Maple has two variations, hard and soft, that make a large difference in the sound. Basswood is inexpensive compared to other guitar woods, and is also easy to work with (sand, seal, etc.). Poplar has a tone similar to that of Alder. Ebony is heavier than most woods and therefore has rich tones.
Usually beds are made of hard woods such as cherry, mahogany, or oak.
They can all make hardwood furniture. :)
According to my research and personal experience, both alder and agathis are considered soft woods, but I believe alder is the harder of the two. But wood densities can vary greatly. Agathis is in the pine family, so it would stand to reason that it's soft. The alder wood guitar bodies that I own don't seem that soft to me! Hope that helps.
Some of the hardest woods found in America include hickory, pecan, ironwood, and Osage orange. These woods are known for their durability and high resistance to wear and tear, making them ideal for furniture, flooring, and tool handles.
Tables can be made from many different woods. I have an Oak coffee table and a Mahogany dining table.
The main differences between a guitar made with swamp ash and one made with alder wood are in their tonal characteristics. Swamp ash guitars tend to have a brighter and more resonant sound with pronounced highs and a snappy attack. Alder wood guitars, on the other hand, produce a warmer and fuller sound with a balanced tone and good sustain. The choice between the two woods can affect the overall sound and feel of the guitar, catering to different preferences and playing styles.
Guitars (acoustic and electric) are made of wood because of the resonance that wood produces when a string is played. Sound travels differently through different materials, and sound can be altered after traveling through different materials. Certain woods are known to produce better sounds than others, which is why guitars are made of certain kinds of wood - spruce, maple, etc.
