What are the differences between these woods guitar?

Ok, I bought an Ibanez Montage, Flamed Maple Body, which are five other types of Wood: Solid Spruce Koa Quilted Maple Cedar being the difference in these types of wood?

The following descriptions are quoted from Carvin.com, Madeira Guide section. The parts in brackets are my own entry. Flamed Curly Maple (inflamed means he has the little tiger stripe design in any wood) is lighter than Eastern Hard Rock Maple and produces high singing with a tight low end. Quilted Maple (Quilted means it has a design of clouds across the wood) Quilted Maple produces tones similar to Flamed Curly Maple. The value can range from large cloud shapes to smaller pockets looks great with all finishes and translucent spots. Spruce Known its light color, pure and uniform grains, Engleman Spruce is well known for being one of the best wood for acoustic guitar tops. She has a brighter tone than with a Cedar very nice and even low-end response. Koa (Koa is very expensive due to their rarity) Koa is an exotic medium weight wood grown exclusively in the Hawaiian Islands. It was used by ancient Hawaiians to build canoes and surfboards. Koa has warmth and sustain similar to Mahogany and also possesses a clear and open tone of Alder. Koa looks wonderful if you choose a tung oiled, satin or gloss. Flamed Curly Koa is the premium timber and Ukuleles high-end acoustic guitars. If you choose Flamed Curly Koa to add to the top of his body sound and solid, the tone will benefit from added sweetness and pronounced midrange. Koa looks wonderful whether you choose a tung oiled, satin or gloss. Cedar Cedar is a beautiful reddish brown with the same straight grain and comes as standard on our CL40. It has been used for hundreds of years as a Wood top in classical guitar and flamenco. It has a very warm tone, with high moderate compared to spruce.
