Did the 320 have a similar vibe to your 810? I can also see wanting a smaller size since you already have a dread.
I know a mahogany top isn't going to be a big booming strummer like my Sitka/EIR dread so I'm debating on the 320 vs 324 if I went the mahogany top route. Just would like to hear your input on the two.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy your 324.

I sold the 320 for a few reasons, but the main reason was because I realized that I wanted my "second" guitar to be something other than a dread (just for variety's sake). I also really wanted the shaded edge burst. The 320 was big and full like my 810, but had a much more "compressed" mid-rangy tone. Both are great strummers, and I really like the sound/tone of both. The spruce/rosewood 810 has a much snappier high end sparkle, as well as a very pronounced bass response. The 320 is more woody and mellow. Now, the 324 is everything the 320 is in a slightly smaller package, and maybe not quite as loud. It's not drastically quieter, though. It really sounds fantastic, and can take anything I give it. For me the difference is mainly size (shape) and aesthetic with the SEB.
