That chart has an accurate flat tone line for maple but pushes it all up toward the 'High Frequency' end - I can tell you that maple Guild jumbo's have plenty of bottom end.

The “body” of a guitar’s tone is its midrange. When a guitar has too little midrange, it can feel anemic. A guitar with too much midrange, will almost sound honky. It’s very easy to tell the difference on an electric guitar because you can EQ out the mids and hear the effect.
In a band setting, a guitar without midrange gets lost in the mix. The treble competes the cymbals and the bass competes with the bass guitar. Some will then try to compensate by increasing volume. That can make for some ear bleed because the drummer will just kick harder and the bassist will turn up, too.

My Tacoma is a Little Jumbo (15" bout, long scale), the Seagull is a Mini Jumbo (16" bout, short scale).
