I am currently basking in the sound of my latest Tree guitar, which came in yesterday for a truss rod tweak. Its tone is my idea of perfect, though the Cuban may have been as well. A bird in the hand . . .
Bruce, I've been an arms-length lurker, and only recently heard about "the Tree".

What about this wood impresses you so much?

I have been a RW Martin fan forever, and until recently thought mahogany was second-rate. With zero actual play time to support this. But in the past couple years I have acquired an 0000 and OM Sinker mahogany guitars, and think the world of each (transformed)!

What might kick me forward from sinker to "the Tree" in tonal aspects?
