Spruce VS Mahogany Laminated Top | What exactly is the difference in Sound?

[@Doowopsid]

Thank you, this was just what I was looking for to compare the sound of both woods.

[@Loveandotherchaos1438]

I love how the guy demonstrating moves his lips along with his playing! You can tell he’s trying to keep it to himself but it’s such a sweet quirk! As for which is better, I think mahogany matches my style a lot more since I have a warmer voice and tend to gravitate to finger style indie/folk songs which to me sound better with mahogany. Thank you for the video!

[@shantanu.phukan]

I choose Spruce against Mahagony because it sounded brighter and I like that sound, which through out every crystal sounds which strings produces.... But here in this video at least to me Mahagony sounded better in terms of warmth as well as clearity either picking or playing chords...... 😀😀 May be it depends on manufacturers of what wood they use ...Thanks.... 👍👍😀

[@prateekbhardwaj9943]

mahagony ❤️ never hurt ears during long time play

[@markharwood7573]

To be clear, you are talking about a laminated spruce top and a laminated mahogany top, even though you describe them as mid-level guitars. They both sound good but I was surprised how different they were. We expect solid timber tops made from different woods to sound as different as this.

[@aaravsharma2220]

Spruce for chords, Mahogany for picking.

[@daniel7385]

Hi, can you please explain a bit further about what. Thanks.

[@InfinityDejavu]

More details pls?

[@sungoku4916]

Agreed

[@biswasronit]

Mahogany cuts out the shimmers and lets the lower end shine

[@AdrianDantas]

Thanks for the video. The comparison is super helpful!

[@JohnsmusicIn]

Glad we helped :)

[@alvinles77]

Good Mic recording of the sounds!

[@Steve-wz5lx]

Spruce for me. Thanks for the video 👍

[@raahgir7332]

I love warmer sound. ❤

[@AdMBandLeader]

Spruce gives a less pronounced midrange which mahogany does. On the other hand,mahogany lacks a bit of sparkle and low end resonance I guess. Sounds more subdued(compressed?).

[@ograge]

Mahogany top sounds much more balanced (no need compressor) while picking and fingerstyle pretty nice tone❤ while spruce top more brighter not suitable for long play it can lead ear fatigue But but but…. For playing chords mahogany top sounds vintage but spruce top sounds like heaven❤ I think we must have both of them for different applications ❤

[@chulchue2619]

Super job. Thanks.

Is kepma es36 Spruce varient or the mahogany better for strumming??

[@patricknelson1471]

ill tell you why i think spruce is superior when the strings get older it still dhas good volume

[@jonnytennant640]

I would’ve said that the Mahogany has a ‘brighter’ sound....I suppose it depends what your definition of bright is

[@IanBillen]

The Mahogany does sound a bit brighter than the spruce on picking and chords (segment 2 & 3). This is not the norm. Many times (more than not but not always) Spruce is the brighter sounding wood .. It can also come down to the guitar itself and naturally the player. Different players sound / create tones differently on the same guitar at times .. because the accentuate and attenuate the chords / notes differently. As well .. the guitar itself from manufacturer to manufact5urer can sound different and present the unexpected .. hence Segments 2 and 3 here of their tests.

[@tysanmanu4008]

I prefer bass type of sound in acoustic guitar , can u help me Suggest any guitar for this?

[@JohnsmusicIn]

Since the Mahogany variant is less bright, you will feel a more bass dominance there.

[@parmeshwarkhera7352]

spruce wood will be better cause I like rock music and fingerstyle can be played semi-acousticaly but mahogany wood is good for fingerstyle not for rock music and in my opinion spruce wood can fulfill everyone's need

[@TECH3_]

you want rock ? go electric with an acoustic sim padel

[@SunilHembrom-tk4vu]

Mahogany is best sound for me ❤

[@RonBics]

mahogany sounds better for me :)

[@lalfaksanga4416]

You have to buy both..😁 Or chose either one of them it's good. The most important is that the Guitar quality. For beginner at least 15k guitar you need to buy. Below under 15k is wack..fender..Cort.. kepma..is the best...don't buy yamaha I'm telling Yamaha guitar quality is cheap as f* sound is good but..after months or year..you will have a problem.. Yamaha Higher guitar 50k or something it's good..but not 15k to 20k..and lastly local company Guitar those are wack never buy local guitar...Fender..Ibanez.. kepma..Cort. these are real quality guitars.so there you have it.
