I think this can be a total can of worms, since different guitars are synonymous with different woods, but usually there are a lot of other things in play that should be considered. For example, les pauls have dense, mahogany bodies, so some people then think that if you have a mahogany strat, youll get les paul-like sustain, not realizing there are way more things than just the body wood in play (neck angle, thickness of body, hard tail bridge, etc).
http://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Bodies/Options/BodyWoodOptions.aspx is a nice guide on different body wood types, but I wouldn't focus on that too much for achieving a desired sound.
What makes classic fenders sound the way they do is their electronics, leo was an electrician after all. A tele sounds like a tele because of the pickups and the bridge. That's why the jazzcaster (telemaster) is in right now, sounds like a tele, but looks like an offset. The true genius of the classic fender line is that no two fender models sound alike because they all have totally different electronics. Bridge style matters as well, hardtail vs block trem (strat) vs floating trem (jazzmaster).
I think you should first identify what sound you want to achieve, then begin your search for parts that align with your wants.
