Yeah, I don't understand a style of music where one top wood would be undesirable. Cedar, redwood, sitka, adirondack could all be made into guitars which would be at least adequate for all styles. I could imagine cedar and perhaps redwood would be a bit live and easily overdriven for hard-driving acoustic blues. But adirondack? Not in my experience.

Could you elaborate?
