Not to speak for anyone but myself -
I have a Batson - Rosewood/Cedar GC, and a Goodall Rosewood/Spruce CJ. The "tone" of both are similar in that it is deep, lush and complex. In my personal experience the Batson tone is what you make it - style, attack, dynamics. I have a colleague who's playing style is the opposite of mine. I rarely use a pick, he mainly uses one. His right hand attack is very aggressive, mine less so. We have passed both guitars back and forth, and they both sound different depending on who's playing (both to the live ear, and on recorded playback). The difference with the Batson is really based on where you are in relation to it - playing position = darker, warmer and nearly too complex. Out front - great balance and articulation.
