While I agree that it is not "hype" I will also say that Adirondack is like cedar or a mahogany top. It's not "better", it is simply different. I have owned at least a half dozen adi tops from some very fine builders. I don't have any of them anymore and am not really interested in acquiring another. Now, that sound is not what I look for in a guitar. To answer your question. Yes it is worth the upgrade if that's what you want to hear. But with about anything guitar related, some builders will be able to do a lot more with it than others. FWIW
