I don't doubt you for a minute. I recently sold a Gibson J-185 style acoustic after buying an imported Washburn WD56SW. The Washburn has solid rosewood sides and back with a solid spruce top. It produced a much louder sound with better tone than the Gibson for a third of the price. I've been playing for 21 years.
