There is lots of music
Our paper “Perceptual evaluation of bracewood and soundboard wood variations on the preference of a steel-string acoustic guitar” was published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. The paper discusses the natural variability of spruce soundboards and the resulting perceptual differences in the tonal quality of acoustic guitars. It can be read online here. The results were also presented at the 178th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in San Diego (2. - 6. December 2019) and the International Symposium on Music Acoustics in Detmold (13.-17. September).
