Hi JW...
I've played for more than 55 yrs, and I own some wonderful guitars. I've played about every guitar I can put my hands on.
The best two guitars I ever played were both Brazilian Rosewood/German Spruce. One was a Somogyi OM and the other a small bodied Sheppard...And both were shown in 2005 at Healdsburg.
It is ALWAYS about the builder, and with high end builders are seemingly able to extract something extra from Brazilian.
I'd gladly fork over 2 grand extra (if I had it) for either of those two.
