Quilted (Ash), Flamed (maple), Select (spruce), Figured (Ash)
and what other kinds are there?
Quilted ash, and flamed maple are particular types of these woods, giving a particular visual effect.
'Select' just means 'chosen for quality' There are many different woods used in guitar making, chosen either for their workability/durability,for their accoustic qualities, or for the way they look. I like quilted ash- I'm shortly planning to buy a Yamaha guitar in this wood, because I think it's gorgeous.
