Quote. . . learned after a year that my voice is suited better with rosewood and I just happened to be guided towards Larrivees and the rest was history - I have a L-09

One of the few times on ANY guitar forum when someone has made the connection between the compatability of their singing voice with guitar tonewoods.  I started a thread on the acoustic guitar forum a long time ago asking members which guitar tonewood matched their singing voice better.  The responses ranged between "it depends on the song" to "it doesn't matter" to "huh?"  It didn't matter to most folks but there certainly are subtle differences in tonewoods that affect the sound quality and vocal nuances of the singer.   

If you have the luxury of owning two guitars (mahogany and rosewood), ask a 'discerning acquintance'  or two (pets don't count) to listen as you play and sing the same song on each guitar.  And then ask which version sounded better.
