You may hear a difference, sure - but no one guessed right ... Just disappointing that none of those with very "sensible ears" participated in the discussion.

My ears are sensible ears, they never buy anything they can't afford. I wish I could get my feet to do the same thing.
Read the very first post after Terry's OP.
I'm more interested in making guitars that make music rather than playing games. When someone's "new guitar material" sounds like crap to me, I don't feel I need to post my opinion.
I passed on Gibson's Sonex line many years ago. Guess what, the vintage Sonex models still sound like crap (unless you like that sort of sound).
And once again, the idea that the recorded sound of a guitar is the benchmark when determining what body wood suits an individual player is just silly. It is the choice of the player and how the guitar responds in his hands, that is the only valid benchmark.
The rest is idle internet forum chatter.
