I found a few related threads, but was wondering, is there a general correlation between sound/tone and the pattern of a maple back, e.g. curly, birds-eye, quilted, tiger, flamed?
Seems builders, understandably, go through runs of certain patterns. Lately seems to be quite a bit of tiger stripe on new mandos.
I know there are many other variables, but if everything else could be equal, is there a general difference in sound between, say, a curly back and tiger, or birds-eye an flamed? Sorry if I stated some of the names incorrectly.
Thanks.
