Ahmed, Are there any local wood sellers where you are? Do they have any thing you plan buying? If you are planning to make a guitar for yourself or a friend then you can be experimental in your choices, but if you are looking to sell the guitars I would recommend going for something which either Spanish Cypress (or an alternative) or Indian Rosewood (or an alternative) Here are some of the alternatives I've seen before. Spanish Cypress Alternatives (for a blanca) - Port Orford Cedar - Maple (the many different types) - Silver Oak - Monterey Cypress - Sycamore - London Plane (not sure if it is white in it's unfinished state, it's a type of Maple I think) - Lebanon Cedar Alternatives for Indian Rosewood - Any Dalbergia RW (eg Honduran) - Pau Ferro - Walnut - Padauk Depending where you are though, if you are looking for lower priced alternatives to Cypress and Indian Rosewood, then Maple and Pau Ferro seem to be able be purchased for not too much.
