Just like to add to the wood section for body. Mahogany is prone to warping and ash has good elastic properties.
Elasticity is directly proportional to the resonance of the wood AND inversly proportional to the density, Its a bit complex but import enough. Sound travels faster along the grain rather than across it.

It's a bit sciencey and i didnt go into all the detail i could but i believe it's important enough.

Also i think a relative pricing system might be good.
