Default Fun Comparison (CEO7 content)

Here is a little video I made this morning for fun....not long and not thorough, I just strummed some with a flatpick....which one is the older of the two? One is a 2014 with Hog, and I guess the other one is a 2022 or 2023 I am the original owner). I guess it mah have Sippo back and sides but they look exactly the same...anyway, which is which?

So which is A and which is B.

One of them is the older one, and one the newer one. They are at least 7 or years apart and like I said, I guess the newer one is the Sippo that Martin guys say does not sound as good as the original mahogany.....hmmmmm

Guitar A sounds better to my ear. It’s the older one.

With initial light touch, Ver A - sounds richer and deeper with a bellow suggesting Mohogonite Ver. Once you dig in they sound similar IMO, but I'm probably limited on mic on this end. Do tell!

Ya'll are right. The older one is A. That guitar has opened up a good bit over the 9 years. I have put a ton of miles on it. The newer one sounded better straight to me. The sound is very similar but more "clean" if that makes sense. Less whooof (I like good whoof). If I play it a ton over the next year, I am betting it will roar.

Guitar B sounded mighty fine for a new guitar. The both sounded great--congrats on two excellent guitars.
