It would be fun to try though.Not that I want to spoil the party, but I don't know if I'd ever order an acoustic guitar with a maple top. Spruce or cedar give you the most traditional sound.
Doesn't mean it'd sound bad, might even sound great, but I'd sure want to play a maple topped acoustic before laying down the cash (and I have a PS acoustic, so it's not like I'm into sour grapes here).

Agree whole-heartedly...most Maple bodied acoustics...especially T...and M...are already pretty bright...a Maple top might take them over the edge.
Ahhhh, ha ha ha, you said "diaphragmatic"!!!!also maple is heavier than softwoods like spruce, and is therefore a bit less diaphragmatic and might be more difficult to make vibrate easily. Seems transient response would be quite different.
I guess I’d have to play it to know.

Oh, I loved it, sorry if my reply did not convey that!!! Just moved into my Butt-Head mode when replying!Yes, in the sense that an acoustic guitar top is like a diaphragm that moves with air pressure and vibration.
Perhaps it's not a good analogy.
