2... all wood can be used for an electric guitar. Some will sound better than others, but there is little to stop a cheap bit of pine sounding better than finest "mahogany".
so for for me a good sounding spade doesn't overrule the effect of the materials. It just shows that you need to judge the actual materials you have in front of you to see what you can get from them.
or to put it another way .... do you think any spade would make a good instrument? If not you are clearly back to the materials having an affect on the tone.
I will watch the vid later and see if it changes my mind. I may start googling musical saws again too

I am a believer with tweaking almost any wood/material can be made to sound superb as a guitar. But depending on how bright/dull it is, where energy is going and what its doing may mean you might need diff compnents and materials to balance the whole shebang
fwiw I do think materials make less difference on a lap steel where heavy strings and a heavy bar contribute a lot more to the tone
