This has been discussed before, but even within large manufacturers who use computer assisted assembly and small little builders.....there is always the odd instrument that for no apparent reason is a cut above or below the ones built before or after. I've experienced this using the same materials on successive instruments and one may be worse or better than the others. As Bill D. said above, you get differences within even the same piece of wood. But there are other factors too.

Once again...play it, listen to it.....like it? Buy it....or not.
