That nightingale tone is not suitable for all songs and all genres as it is so thick and heavy that it was like drinking a super thick hot chocolate when you thought you were drinking a syphon made single origin cup of brewed coffee.
For some songs however no other guitar will sound as good.

The darkest toned guitar that I liked was a McKnight HighLander in Redwood and Cocobolo. Absolutely amazing.
I played an HD-35 for 7 years. It's just as you describe: deep and rich, but not dark.
