Calling on exprienced guitar players with knowledge of WOODS.

Well does it matter what type of wood the guitar is made out of? I guess it does but how? I hear stuff about Ibanez being built for speed but why do they say that?

Which type of wood is good for fretboard to play with? For body for sustain? And so forth...

Despite tastes in people I guess I'm looking for general answers. Not which guitars sound great, but what kinda material meant to achieve what kinda purpose.

Cheers :D
