Describing tone in words is tenuous at best. Much of it is influenced by the player’s technique and choice of musical content. I play with a heavy plectrum and my fingers and mostly jazz tunes. Someone who plays fingerstyle, DADGAD mostly in the first position would most likely have very different likes than me.
With that caveat, I find the balance of the fundamentals to overtones to be more to my liking and the overall timbre to lean more traditional on Michael’s more current instruments. Michael’s earlier guitars while balanced in their tonality to my ear were much richer in their overtone content.
