Mr. B, I think you should just give up and jump further down the rabbit hole!
I didn't get my first Mahogany guitar until 2011… it was a little 00-15M. But I immediately fell in love with it and now it is one of 7 Mahogany guitars, 5 of them all-Mahogany. I love the crisp, precise, well-balanced sound much more than EIR. It's all personal preference, but for me, Mahogany can't be beat.
