I did have a chance to play and to work on a Batson 5 Cedar/ Rosewood. I was very amazed at the tone it produce ...simple responsive piece which could be attributed to the cedar top..and it sounded sweet too..
Here is a You Tube Video Review I did on that guitar.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR-1d...e_gdata_player Enjoy and cheers Jarvis |

The difference in price between the No. 5 and a custom is huge!! I just ran through the calculations, and easily can find myself building an $11,000 guitar, LOL!! I realize that the custom I chose would be substantially different than a $3K No. 5, but it shows the range they can go for. There are a few No. 5s available for the mid-high $2K and it would seem they are worth the dollars in comparison to the major manufacturers in that price range.

open air #5 is a great track, very cool to listen to. While I find the Aesthetics very displeasing, its hard to argue with the tone.
