That's a great looker. More importantly, I hope she sounds as good, or better. But as a musician that's been married over 30 years, and never asked my wife what she thought of a guitar's looks, your not really saying you are buying guitars on what someone thinks of their looks are you? I'm being serious not snarky.

Congratulations on what looks to be a wonderful guitar.

In this particular case, I was looking for a hard top to replace the Taylor GS Mini Hog. I decided after a few weeks searching and listening that several of the Martin Hogs would work but late in the search I started looking at the CEO-7 and the CEO-9. I decided the 7 with its Addy top was too similar to the guitars I already owned and the 9 with the Mango top was closer to what I originally planned to do. I listened to as many recording as I could find including one @gwlee7 posted in a recording thread here. The tone I heard from almost all the recording I had found was something I liked a lot. She listened as well and agreed on the tone. End result was her choice was the same as mine and it makes life a whole lot easier. So no on buying for looks but I will admit I am a sucker for striking wood and it's great when the guitar you pick for sound has that. I should also add that I am not a musician. Im an old retired guy that is developing a hobby out of something I did as a teenager many years ago. I really enjoy playing guitar again. That's probably more than you wanted to hear but I thought it was a reasonable question.

Congrats! I got one back in August and I absolutely love it. It's a seriously high quality instrument and has a lot of music in it, so to speak. It really gets you "in the zone" to write and create. It's just gorgeous and sounds absolutely lush --even on my iphone voice memo recorder. I can't wait to record it with proper studio gear.
