Nato is just a cheaper type of mahogony. It all depends on what model and make your guitar is etc...

oo ok.. does it make a bad sound? I've heard that the wood on the fingerboard and bridge makes a difference in your sound. Is that true? :o

Like I said, it all depends on the make and model of your guitar and how it's been constructed.
A guitar can be made out of the best wood in the world, but if it's constructed badly it'll sound bad.

Even real cheap guitars can be made to sound good depending on how you play them, what strings you're using and how it's miked and processed.
I've got an Ovation for a lot of stuff, but I actually use a really cheap
Diatone acoustic that cost $35 at a pawn shop for a lot of recording.
You've just gotta use new, light strings... put a bit of decent reverb on it, compress the sound slightly and use a decent mic.
It ain't audiophile quality but it does the job.
Mic placement and EQing makes a bit difference too. for instance with an acoustic guitar, you might want to roll off any frequencies below 100khz.

I have a MT105-AF ( you can find it on the internet if you want to see what it looks like :D ) I've heard good reviews on it ( haven't run across any bad yet)

but like you said as long as it sounds good, I had new strings put on when I bought - steel

again thanks a bunch for all the input =)
