  1. 1. If the wood is positively significant and matches the attribute, it is determined to be a “Match.” If the wood is positively significant and does not match the attribute, it is a “Does not match”
  2. If the wood is negatively significant and the wood’s attributes match the attributes, it is a “Does not match”
  3. If the wood is negatively significant and does not match the attribute, it is a “Match”
  4. 2. The criteria for matching in this table are derived from the criteria for specific characteristics described in "Dependent variables". If the color is black, the dark color is determined to be a “Match.” The decision regarding traditionality was made by considering Bennett’s wood arrangement, in which he identified the main types of traditional wood used to make guitars [5]. Decay resistance is considered a “Match” if the wood species are identified as good. Scarcity was regarded as a “Match” if it was an endangered species
