My first acoustic guitar had a cedar top with pine b&s's, fir neck. I brought it to a local luthier to get a professional opinion. He told me a few structural things and I wanted to know how the sound was, he said it was fine. It surprised him when he finally realized it was built with pine rather than a hardwood. Some pine is not all that much dense or hard than Spanish Cedar. I would love to make a whole guitar out of Spanish Cedar one day, I have a piece of it for the neck already.
