Very interesting experiment
I am with John. My hearing is not shot, but my decades of RAWK drumming, often between Marshall stacks have taken a bit away for sure.
Still, my right ear is pretty good, and the soundport has been invented! Haha All three of these sound FINE to me. And I find that different songs, tunings, picks or no picks, and string choices all are very good at changing tone. Probably humidity, and the mood of the player too. So many variables... But if the audience can dance to the music, or sing along, or it moves the audience (or player) emotionally it is doing its job! All three of these would certainly do the trick great with a remotely decent driver behind the wheel! Off to listen again! Salud Paul

The mahogany was warmer to me, also more fundamental, but not as full up the neck. The maple was on fire everywhere. More singing trebles, perhaps a bit of edge in the bass, the loudest of the three. My favorite? I liked them all. The mahogany was the surprise to me, in that it did so well, and hung in there with the others. I'm sure it would please the recording studio personnel the best. The rosewood was predictably rich. It said to me, "Yeah...this is the sound to beat". But the maple--I think that was my favorite. Perhaps not just me either--it's already sold and gone! Hope these musings make sense, SK |

All the steps were done sequentially, using the same settings on every tool/machine. We even had the same atmospheric conditions on the days we glued the bridges to their bodies. As for why the maple was the loudest, all I can say is that the Birdseye maple was really kicking something into the equation. SK |

love all 3
Excellent work on all 3, just like every guitar y'all make. Ive kinda gone to the school that backs and side wood combo's take a back seat to the builders expertise and the top choice. Ultimately, visually what the buyer is lusting for makes up for what ever tonal difference their may be? IMHO.
Btw, miss you guys and hope to play some of your excellent creations very soon. Frog

Mike, I'm convinced you do as well. Maple makes wonderful instruments.
Glad you enjoyed the test, and thanks for dropping by. Steve |

When you let Apple make your work playlist: why listen to a good song once when you can hear it twice in a row?

Nice list Ryan! Can't disagree about the "2-in-a-row" song. Must be inspiring.
