For me it also was a Ryan Nightingale: Englemann and Cocobolo. I saw it listed for sale and arranged to visit, a 4 hour round trip--I really wanted to like it. But it was too dark. Before that I didn't know such a thing was possible. I like a dark tone.
The darkest toned guitar that I liked was a McKnight HighLander in Redwood and Cocobolo. Absolutely amazing.

I have never thought of it as dark though.

I played an HD-35 for 7 years. It's just as you describe: deep and rich, but not dark.
