Has anyone played a Sable. I really would like some feedback on this particular guitar.
Unfortunately, unlike most of the other CF brands/models, the Kevin Michael guitars haven't been tried much by AGF members. Maybe a couple of people here have them, hopefully they'll see this thread and reply. Not sure why, but price may have something to do with it.

Default Big guitar big sound.

I second Tom. I like a big sound. Rainsongs and a lighter the luck 13 I played was a little high pitched. I'm a Martin dreadnought guy and I'm looking for bottom. I have a big CA and recommend one of those.

Dadio;

Got my Parlor nylon string and haven't looked back. Portable, comfortable, tonal, projective; just sweet.

The OM and Jumbo Rainsongs have a surprisingly deep and clear low end, as well as terrific sustain. I use Elixer Nanowebs to cut a bit of the sparkle off the high end that occurs with 80/20s and PB strings.

It's funny what we each hear as individuals. My Lucky 13 came with Elixer Nanowebs, and I took them off to cut some the highs, and provide better balance & clarity. I got exactly was I was looking for (a warmer, more balanced & traditional tone) with Newtone Master Class Double-Wound PB strings. They're perfect to my ear on this guitar...
