That said... the CH-OM1100NS could easily hold me quite happily as my "one", IF I had to limit myself to one. Which would it be for you? If I were to speculate, I'd say your X20? |

The Savoy is not "The One," but if it were the only acoustic guitar I could own, I would be quite happy with having it as opposed to a different choice. The Savoy is a great compromise in almost every area without compromising much in the most important areas. I will be interested to see whether a nylon string version is introduced and how it sounds. I favor steel strings but still love the sound of a classical guitar, although most of my classical playing is on steel strings. Last edited by Amar911; 10-29-2017 at 07:08 PM. |

In the last 12 years, we have made a concerted effort to downsize and simplify... with everything except guitars. Glad I don't have to get it down to one. |

The Savoy is indeed an attractive guitar and can easily fill the need for a very compact, good-looking, temperature- & humidity-impervious guitar just fine. Personally, I don't find it to be an attractive value for the money, and it wouldn't be "the one" for me, but cost aside, I sure wouldn't mind having one around the house myself. I don't see the Savoy as being even a close competitor to the CH-OM1100NS for sound quality. The CH-OM has, of course, a significant advantage in size when it comes to sound/tone. BUT I would be very interested in pitting a Savoy against my new Emerald X7, to see which wins out in a competition for sound quality/tone! While these two guitars are more closely matched in size, the cost of the X7 Artisan is about 1/2 the price of the Savoy. I think I need to pay a visit to Mr. Kramster again, with my X7 Artisan in hand, to compare it to the Savoy. Last edited by DHart; 10-30-2017 at 12:36 AM. |

Interesting comparisons, with some missing variables like strings, picks, playing style, and intent.
For example, I often let the strings on my GX go kind of dead because it makes a mellow accompaniment for my voice. If I were just finger picking instrumentally or needed more "cut," it would be a different story. The position of the listener, the acoustical environment, and listener fatigue also factor in... some CF guitars I have auditioned had an "oh wow" sound at first, but got tiring over the longer term. |

Ted; That's pretty good! Several yards for you (these darn forum members have me thinking in terms of yards for gains and penalties. I say this response should get you at least two yards, 2nd down.

I really like the blacked out look of the current CH models, and the lack of any inlay means you never have to argue with some customs agent that no that's not some type of endangered shell. On the other hand, sharks are cool, and if I were to pick a fretboard pattern I prefer it's a clean board with a single inlay at the 12th fret. (like the 3 dots on the Larrivee Forum-III). Anyone have a picture? Are these bright white (pearl) sharks or subdued to match the overall dark aesthetic?
