To summarize some essential factors:

1) QUALITY OF SOUND (concepts of female & male, etc.)


a) “timbre” and tone of every string
b) Balance
(between trebles and basses etc.)
c) Quality & age of the soundboard or top, and wood.
d) Intonation & harmonics, sustain etc.
e) Projection & response.
f) Diverse bracing patterns and the “golpe” or taping
h) different kinds of bridges, thickness & symmetric, etc.

2) PLAYABILITY



a) Bridge measurements (even distance between holes, bridge proper height etc)
b) Action (millimetres between 6th and 12 fret, etc)
c) Tension of the guitar while playing.



3) BEAUTY

a) Kind of varnish (how it affects the sound etc)
b) Colors of wood & kinds of woods traditional and beyond.
