Yamaha CG151S vs Alhambra 4P
Silly comparison, I know. One's spruce, one's cedar; one retails for twice the price of the other. But I was inspired to compare their sounds closely after reading guitarmanrlk's recent post about his new CG151S.
This is mainly (another) comment about the awesomeness/value of Yamaha classicals, because even though it *shouldn't* price-wise, I now think the Yamaha sounds better than the Alhambra. More focused. The Alhambra sounds kind of muddy and muffled next to it (I know cedar's darker, but one shouldn't have to sacrifice all clarity for that!) It just makes a more musical sound. This disturbs me to admit, because I paid quite a bit more for the 4P!
Once again...Yamahas rule
