You can use spanish cedar for the cross bracing and transverse braces applied to the indian rosewood back. I would use either euro or englemann spruce on a spruce top classical gtr. hope this helps. |

Spanish Cedar works well for cross bracing a back only but does not have alot of affect on voicing other than reducing the weight of the back braces. Because the back acts more as a reflector of sound than a resonator it affects the overall sound of a guitar than the top. |
