The differences are subtle and can vary from one seemingly identical guitar to the next. Differences in the wood or the setup or the strings or the humidity level also come into play.  The sound clips do give a general idea what that model sounds like.   Clear your mind and listen again Grasshopper, when you can snatch the pebble from my hand....... :winkin: :humour:


Blonde vs Brunette vs Redhead.  Well brunette for me every single time.

:rollRosewood, boom boom boom + zing zing zing (low + high) --> good for rhythm + strumming
Mahogany, wrang wrang wrang (mid to upper mid) --> good for cutting + recording + amplified
Koa, zzzzzing zzzzzzzzing zzzzzzzzing (lower mid + a sweet zzzzzzzzzzing sound) --> very sweet as long as you dont try to strum it.

If anyone asks this question again, I am going to have to pull out my shank made from left over pieces of a Taylor.  :arrow
