Cedar Top
Torres used rosewood, cypress, and maple for the ribs and backs of his guitars, and as far as can be determined, he used spruce exclusively for his tops. A new chapter in soundboard material opened in 1965 when José Ramírez III became the first to use Western red cedar for the soundboard. The timbre of cedar-top guitars quickly caught on after Segovia and Christopher Parkening began playing them.

El Pais (newspaper) & Paco de Lucia 
Interviewer- Which is your main guitar?
(question n. 4, see link below)

A: Paco de Lucia : "...I have many different guitars and very good ones actually, but I always have one with me...
It's like a women you live with but who don't really like much...
because I really do not like this guitar too much
 (Paco's Conde 1975 http://youtu.be/mOieFF1Ti8o?t=5m25s) 
but on the other side I know how this particular guitar  will  respond me on stage.  
The saying `best known evil than an unknown good` applies  here.
In fact at home my guitar it is a rough and hard to play guitar,
when I'm relaxed at my place I can't play this guitar at all...
But when adrenaline is there (on the stage) I need a certain comfortable pulsacion http://youtu.be/HuiP0WzA8d0?t=14s   of which I get used to, and that's why I use it 
for playing on stage.

Entrevistador -¿Cuál es su guitarra de cabecera?

Paco de Lucia -Tengo muchas guitarras y muy buenas, pero siempre llevo una conmigo. Es como la mujer que no te gusta demasiado pero vives con ella, porque realmente mi guitarra no me gusta demasiado, pero se cómo me va a responder arriba en el escenario. Es aquello de `mejor malo conocido que bueno por conocer`. Es una guitarra áspera, dura, que en mi casa cuando estoy relajado no puedo tocar para nada. Pero con la adrenalina que se genera en el escenario   se queda en una tensión cómoda y por eso la llevo.

Some further prove that in the "guitar world" the so called "known facts" from so called "authorities on the field" are many times
completely false.

Example:

In the guitar world it is widely advertised that Manuel Reyes belongs to
the Barbero line, but at the following link (min 2.24)
http://youtu.be/5_Mj9XkINiY?t=2m24s

you can see Reyes himself saying:

"...I never learn from Barbero..."
..........

Ask yourself why...
Answer: To some people it was convenient to made that stuff up to sell Reyes which are btw much overrated

I am sorry I don't go along with the "authorities on the field" hence I am not blind
