That is the nicest Amazon I have seen, Mike. I have never heard an Amazon guitar but I have heard they are as you said- indistinguishable with BRW.
Madagascar is in the same ballpark in my opinion.
This is my Flammang AJ75. Adi/African Blackwood. It's David's take on an
Advanced Jumbo. Long scale. Comparing it to BRW is kind of tough. I would only say it's different.
ABW is much less expensive than BRW. It's more dense, tough to work with (bend), and probably less photogenic than BRW.
It's outstanding. I have never heard anything quite like it. It has no ceiling to it- can get very loud and remains clear.
But it is so sensitive and responsive to the lightest touch. Great guitar.
I would recommend it as an alternative to BRW. But I don't think it sounds the same.
A pic of it under construction- the grain is more visible
Finished- sorry about the reflections (their not mine)
