Table 2 Characteristics of wood used for acoustic guitars by attribute

Table 2 shows the correspondence between the characteristics of each wood sample and the attributes discussed in the hypotheses. We marked woods with matching attributes as “1” (pink) and woods with mismatched attributes as “0” (green). “Select Hardwoods” is the term Martin is using, we cannot know the wood species or wood attributes of “Select Hardwoods”, and we marked it as “Not Available”. The criteria used to organize the attribute-specific characteristics of wood are described in “Sample collection” above
