Hate to rehash age old debates, but couldn't find an answer - do tonewoods affect unplugged tone? I know there's a variety of perspectives on amplified tone and different woods, that there are many other aspects to tone, etc. But I haven't found any specific dialogue on unplugged\acoustic sound. If you "hear the wood" plugged in, do you also "hear the wood" unplugged?
Again, not trying to invoke a battle, just musing. Thanks for indulging.

I'm getting to know a couple new (used) mahogany based guitars. I played basically one Strat for all of 18 years so this is a big adventure for me. One Santana SE that appears to have a maple top (2010) and a second that is all mahogany, plus a Custom 24 SE that looks to be all mahogany on the body but with a maple neck. Also a Gibson SG reissue. They're all previously owned, and I'm selling other gear to help pay for them, so I'm having fun comparing and I suppose will have to get rid of at least one (or not).
