Do you know if the wild grain EIR differs in tone at all from standard EIR?

Thanks!
I don't think the wild grain EIR affects the tone, but I could be completely wrong. It sure is pretty though! I do think the GE bracing adds a bit to the low end, but not sure on the overtones. Tone is so subjective! I would hate to use the wrong words to describe what my ears hear, because a buyer may not describe it the same way and be disappointed. I hope that makes sense.
