First of all, to make a musical instrument, you need "Sound Wood"... Most guitars are made with a spruce top. Cherry wood is usually used for the sides ( this gives it a mellow sound) Maple would give it a sharper sound. Not all spruce trees produce "sounding wood " and depends on a lot of factors, too numerous to mention here.
Mahogany is also often used for the back of the guitar.
My advice, if this is your first attempt at lutier, buy a kit. Most kits have all the instructions with it (att least you can optain them from thew supplier. Try the following site. They have all the supplies
