So, between raging pain in both my knees and my hip and also a huge case (again) of insomnia, I laid awake trying to think of all the guitars I've owned. I know I didn't get them all for sure, but it was a nice journey none the less.
Then I started thinking about tone woods and excuse my ignorance, I should likely know this answer but I don't and I'm not shy so here we go. If Spruce, be it Sitka, Red or otherwise is revered as a top wood because it vibrates well, can be cut thinly and projects great, why have I not seen a guitar with Spruce sides or back??? Is it because it's too soft a wood and not suitable for back and sides?
