Guitar Woods/String size interaction

Anyone evcer notice how even though two guitars will be the same scale length, you can get away with small/loose strings on one of them, but the other one doesn't sound right unless you have big/tight strings on them?

On my buds ibanez 7 he's got a 60-12 set tuned to A which plays and sounds great, but my Squier strat 'likes' having the 60 tuned to C# or else it's all attack and no sustain (probably due to the maple fretboard). On the other hand my four string bass with a 95-40 set on it is tuned to D standard and sounds great (rosewood fretboard)

It's not a problem cause I like my string sizes anyway. But I found it intriguing.

Could you guys list woods/wood combos that like bigger or smaller strings? So that others might have some info when buying axes.

You must make (and provide photos of) an ice-cream cake (or suitably large sundae) commemorating the death of Aeris in Final Fantasy 7, complete with an entirely edible depiction of Speiroth's betrayal on top. Photographic evidence will be required, of course. Bonus points if it doesn't end up tasting like absolute shit."- DDDorian
