I may be mistaken but I heard that they use wood in acoustic guitars because it is good for sound resonance and vibration... I am wondering if there is other materials that are just as good for amplifying sound...I think you get the picture. Please and thank you.

Ya some plastic such they build sandboxes out of. go to Walmart and ask to feel some sandboxes. then go to guitar center and ask if they have guitars that are made from the plastic of sandboxes.

What type of wood is good for building an acoustic guitar?

Kristina

I wanna build a nice acoustic guitar with good sound not a cheap walmart brand what type of wood would that be?

Answer
Are we talking classical or steel string acoustic? They use different woods.

I'm a girl who has an interest in woodworking and instrument building. (I even went to a violin making school for a while) I was interested in making a classical guitar, so I got a good book to see how it was done. Good grief!!! Let's just say I haven't made one yet! haha People DO make them, however, and if you want to give it a try, get some good books on making the kind of guitar you like, then be prepared to spend some $$$$ to get started.

Here's my favorite company for guitar tonewood and tools (even though I haven't made one). http://www.lmii.com

Best luck!!
