CEO-07 vs 000-18 vs 000-16 StreetMaster

I have owned (and loved) a standard reimagined 000-18. But I didn't love the neck. When I ran across a 000-18GE and felt and heard the difference, I was on a quest for that guitar.

I now own both a 000-18GE and a CEO-7. They are similar in significant ways. Both have the mod-V neck, and the wider string spacing at the saddle. Other ways, as well.

Both are great guitars. The 000-18GE is my favorite (except when I'm playing the CEO-7).

With the three above, I voted CEO-7. If the 000-18 had been a GE, it would have got my vote over the CEO-7. But not the standard reimagined.

I voted OOO-18 over CEO-7…
I do not know the 16 and I only play fingerstyle.

These guitars are on my list and have played them all. Played the 000-18 and two CEO-7's on the same day. My preference was the CEO-7 that day. Of the two there was a used one that was nicer feeling and a little better sounding than the other. The 000-18 didn't entice me as much at the 7. Loved the 7 neck but others won't.

Tracked down a Streetmaster 000-16 a couple weeks later. Great guitar for the money. It was LOUD. Very cool and comfortable guitar to play. I think I just prefer Hog back and sides to Rosewood. Extremely great guitar for the money if you can handle the look. Which I do like. Someone put a pickguard on one and it made it look fantastic.

Play them all and decide.

I can't realistically choose between the CEO-7 and 000-18, but will perhaps betray my bias in that my CEO-7 has a K & K in it so I can play it out at gigs.

I am going with the CEO-7. It will be interesting to see how it so7nds once I get it.
