Cherry makes a wonderful sounding guitar. I have only played one myself, but many others will vouch for its qualities. It is a pity more makers do not utilise this homegrown wood.

My choice for my first is mahogany, simply because I have enough of the stuff in stock, and, because there are so many mahogany guitars, I will have a benchmark for comparison.

It is possible the guitar might end up sounding like a goose farting on a foggy day, Spaw, we will know in due course !
