Thanks for the link. Interesting... Sample "A" seemed a little more balanced, but somewhat less articulate. Sample "B" seemed more articulate, but seemed to accentuate the upper partials a little too much. Didn't fill out all the info, but my guess is that A is bone and B is tusq, but I don't claim much knowledge in the realm of material characteristics. Chances are that if I was looking for an expensive guitar, both sounds would go back on the rack
