I prefer #1 for what you were playing for the same reasons already stated by other folks.

1 for me all the way. Clarity, note separation, balance. A tad bright/harsh with the thumb pick but that could be new strings, mic placement or a million other things. Nice playing.

I liked #2 the best as it was the most articulate and had that presence that just grabbed my attention. #2 was too warm for the music IMO though pleasant. #3 seemed to be blend of the 1 and 2. I find it interesting that so many liked #2 the best.

Number two had more wood and less glass, I think the type of song played would determine the winner between those two.

Definitely #1 for me, but #3 was a very close second.
Didn't care for #2 at all... entirely too warm sounding, and lacking the clarity and vibrancy I typically look for in a guitar. Was #3 a Cedar topped guitar by chance ?

I chose none simply because it might have something to do with the strings used.
Even so, I was left looking for and wanting a richer sound. 1 sounded more like a bluegrass tone, 2 sounded a bit muffled, 3 sounded less muffled but still lacked ring in places. Probably had more to do with the mic and strings combined.

I chose #2 because it sounded a bit bolder projection wise, but on my first time through I chose #1 and have a feeling if I were the player instead of the audience it would be #1. I’m curious which one is your favorite?
Oh, and #3 is no slouch! In fact, you proved what people have been telling me for a while. I need to play some Furch/Stonebridges, and I will:-) Local Austin shop and one of my favorite Bay Area shops carry Furch, so I got no excuse after your GAS inducing playing, which was nice!

# 2, for me. More balanced tone without the quack from the other two instruments.

Without question I found #1 the most appealing guitar. It was clear, alive with midrange warmth and treble presence. #2 sounded sloggy and dull in comparison. #3 was, I thought, too hot on the mic, so hard to get a read on it with its dominant bass line.
That almost as many respondents preferred #2 to #1 was very interesting to me. Certainly helps explain honest differences of opinions about the sound of guitars, and is a bit of a warning flag for those asking for help from forum members in looking for a guitar. |

Put #1 but with so many variances between the vids it's not really a fair comparison.

Vid 2) D33SR = Vintage Series: S for Sitka Spruce/R for Rosewood (EIR) Vid 3) D23CR = Millennium Series: C for Cedar/R for Rosewood (EIR) All guitars have tapered X bracing but I think (but not sure) that the D25SR has Adirondack bracing. If not this guitar, the option is available. There are other differences between the Millennium series and the vintage services but they are mostly cosmetic. Quote:
