Quick review question Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? They are underrepresented, most of the types of wood described have yet to be expounded on. I would like to see sound properties of each material explored more in depth as well as better structure and organization when more material is added.

All good intentions of the author aside, it is very clear the author's central focus is North american acoustic guitars, still, it uses north american electric guitars as examples for the sound qualities of each tonewood. The world is bigger than america, and there are more instruments in the world than only guitars. What works good on guitars might not work good on oboes for instance. Both can be made of wood, so by definition that is tonewood. I propose a leaner article titled tonewood, and to rename this one guitar tonewood. It still contains a lot of non-neutral points of view, as the interpretation of tonal qualities by ear is never an exact science maybe it should even

The author's bigger problem is that none of his assertions are sourced. Buster 22:29, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also be mentioned that the shape of the soundhole and internal volume of an instument determine much of its tonal qualities, maybe even more that the type of wood used in it's construction.

(I just added a couple of corrections to the first discussion article)

I more would like to see this discussion extend to the bass guitar, for some characteristics might be so on a guitar, and not so on the bass (due to different frequencies, body thicknesses, and stringtension etc...)

I have edited this page with content specific to acoustic guitars and removed the reference to electric guitars within the acoustic guitar section. I have also expanded on the species of tonewoods that fall under the catergory of East Indian rosewood and mahogany. Pakhanuk 09:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it that there is a load of stuff about Martin in the Brazilian rosewood section? just seems odd, lots of luthiers will use brazilian rose wood if you are willing to pay —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.20.245.114 (talk) 17:56, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
