Thanks. I'll look them up.
But I don't understand why you said "either is fine." To me, this test showed that people overwhelmingly thought B was a superior guitar, and it's pretty cheap for a European all-solid wood instrument. One of the reasons why I thought I needed to put up a test like this was to find out if wood vs laminate was really such a big deal when it comes to actual sound. Turns out it is. Materials do matter. So, I'll probably buy it, because I showed it to a luthier and was told it has great fretwork and seems to have "aged like wine" over the years, showing no signs of abuse. I'm not crazy about the bass on it, but the luthier said a better matching set of strings would make it a dream-come-true guitar. I'll take a chance.
