Yes, because wood is a natural material, which varies. The 'average' piece of Red spruce is denser and stiffer along the grain at a given thickness than the 'average' piece of Engelmann spruce, or Western red cedar. But I've worked with Red spruce tops that that were less dense than the average Engelmann, and Engelmann tops that were denser than most Red spruce. I have one Red spruce top that exactly matches the density and stiffness of a WRC top in my stash. It's about the piece of wood, not the species.
It also has a lot to do with what the maker does. If you want a 'responsive' guitar it's easier to start out with a low density piece of top wood, of whatever species, but if you don't have one there are things you can do to adapt. A good maker can probably get more out of poor wood than a bad maker can get out of the best wood. |

That's not true. It really depends on how a person plays, the kind of stuff they're playing and what kind of timbre they prefer.

Adirondack can be played anyway you like, hard/light/strumming. Cedar you need to be carefull, if you play to hard, the sound may implode and lose definition. And it’s not even loud then, to cut through with others, forgett it. A good Adi can do it all. Cedar is really nice for light fingerstyle though.

And, John selected through a LOT of top sets, braces with Adi, uses hide glue, and is building one monster HOSS at a time. YMMV Paul
