Solid Spruce or Solid Cedar Top?
I found an electric-acoustic guitar I really like, but there are 2 versions of it, one with a Solid Spruce top and one with a Solid Cedar Top. They are both exactly the same price and when I played them I cannot tell the difference. Which one should I buy and why? If you would like to know, I like rock.
The cedar will produce a slightly mellower and deeper tone over time as it settles, whereas the spruce will be more bright in comparison.
Both are purely based on preference, but as a beginner, you probably are unable to distinguish such differences just yet.
Either will work just fine. Sprucetops are definitely more common, and it is a more durable wood so if you're not the careful type or you're scared of dents, etc., go with the spruce.
(Just a bit of side info: The tone of all acoustic guitars change over time as they are played. The vibrations and air movement cause the wood to eventually "settle in"..you can think of it as wine - it gets better with age..but only if you play it. Leaving it in its case will not do much. This is one of the reasons why many vintage guitars are sought after (aside from better build quality in the past), and if they are in great cosmetic condition, they're worth even more.)
