Topic: brazilian rosewood+indian rosewood

ABOUT WOOD: ROSEWOOD especially, is used a lot but is it possible to hear the DIFFERENCE?

Honduras mahogany versus other mahagony
COCOBOLO - Rosewood from Central America and Mexico.
Different kinds of rosewood are used to build a guitar.
WHAT ABOUT ROSEWOOD : THERE ARE A FEW COUNTRIES PRODUCING ROSEWOOD.
But is Brazilian Rosewood so good, compared to Indian Rosewood or Rosewood from Mexico and Central America?

SPRUCE: you have "German" spruce, but it is more European spruce and SPRUCE from the US which is usually used on more expensive models.

WHAT IS THE "REAL" DIFFERENCE, and are you able to hear a different sound between European spruce and US spruce?
Last point: the neck: I am not familiar with the woods, but is the guitar neck made of let's say rosewood different than ebony, does it affects the sound
