How do wood effects the sound?
Hey, im a newbie in guitar electric, i dont know how the wood effects the guitar's sound.. is the different woods give differents sounds?

yes, every wood has a different vibration, so it affects greatly the sound of your guitar...
Vintage acoustic guitars are said to be better because the wood used was better, we are actually running low on really good woods, and that's why some luthiers are running prices that defy gravity...

thanks, :) but can you tell me which type of sound given by different wood?? (ex what does rosewood sound like? etc...)

well, it's a combination, ask a guitar builder, who will tell you what to use... Usually, you ask them "I want that sound" and they tell you they are going to use this or that wood...But don't come asking for a wood!!

The harder the wood, the brigher the sound. Cheap woods, like alder will give you a ****ty bassy sound, UNLESS you have active pickups or some sort of guitar processor/synth that can morph your sound.
A rosewood guitar would feedback too much. They have been made, but are more a display peice.

medium range sound, meaning that the medium range frequencies are the strongest in that particular sound. For exemple, the metal sound has less midrange, and maximum highs and lows, while jazzy sounds have more mediums
