Yes, wood is wood.

However, using this comment to describe the tone of guitars is like taking a Ford truck engine and comparing it to a Porsche engine and saying "Steel is steel, right?"

Wood is wood, but the trick is hidden in the bracing, the thicknesses of the woods, the glue used, the finishes, etc.

Others will describe the tones with a variety of words, but be rest assured that there are differences, just as Martin and Taylor want it to be. Which is better is, of course, up to the buyer.
