wcap that is exactly why I like mine so much. I also have a Blueridge BR162 sitka/rosewood combo, while I do like it - Martin is by far better instrument for me when it comes to the alternate tunings, there isn't the clash of the overtones that I get with Blueridge. It is just that warm dry tone and it all rings clear, but lush at the same time. Very rich sounding guitar without feeling muddy.
I have been entertaining the thought of trading off the Blueridge towards a resonator in a mahogany flavor, not that it is a bad instrument by any means, it's just every time I try to warm up to rosewood I end up going back to mahogany.
Besides Martin gets lion share of the play, and unless I play it - rule is it goes bye bye.
