After getting some informative replies from the members of Delcamp.net I have decided to build with traditional tonewoods. There are enough variables as it is just using traditional woods without introducting the complexities of different woods.
Im planning on ordering the following materials in the next few days from Guitarwoods.com.au :
Englemann Spruce - Soundboard
Indian Rosewood - Back and Sides
New Guinea Rosewood - Neck
Ebony - Fretboard
Rosewood - Headstock veneer
Misc - (Fretwire, glue, bindings, Purflings,Rosette ...etc).
I had initially penciled in Sitka Spruce for the soundboard (not sure why) but again was informed that Sitka was not a good idea for first guitar as it has some dampening properties which other spruces dont have - (Delcamp.net ). So on that advice I changed to Englemann spruce. German spruce was another option that was recommended but due to the cost decided on Englemann spruce.
