I seem to have just the opposite reaction the to B string. I've found that one way I compare guitar "sounds" on an acoustic guitar is how the B string sounds (once in tune of course). I cannot describe what it is, but I can easily tell the difference between two different guitars based on picking that one string. There is more to it, of couse, but that's always been a good indicator to me. Weird, I know.
