ponder this.....
Which is more important to you:
Different size guitars (parlor, OOO, OM, D, Jumbo) in similar tone woods; or Similar size guitars in different tone woods?

Neither. Just finding an instrument that's pleasing to the ear, very playable and capable of fulfilling it's purpose.

How about different size guitars, in different tone woods......as well as different size guitars, in the same tone woods.....as well as the same size guitars, with different tone woods, as well as the same size guitars, with the same tone woods, from different makers

Funny stuff woodyb!! LOL
for years I would have said like size with different tonewoods. I used to like having a Spruce/Rosewood Dread and a Spruce/Mahogany, maple, or koa dread. Now I really love the overtones and natural reverb that rosewood has so I ordered another smaller sized fingerstyle guitar with Italian spruce and madagascar rosewood slightly different flavor of the main dread I own. I think it will be a great compliment too the Dread!! |

I do both.
I have Martin dreads in EIR, Madagascar and Mahogany, and OM/000's in EIR, Madagascar, Tasmanian Blackwood, and Mahogany. Tops are Sitka, Carpathian, Englemann and Adirondack. I like a variety of woods and sizes....

Okay, so w have multiple top woods, multiple back/side woods, multiple body sizes, and multiple builders. Let's not forget multiple scale lengths, multiple nut widths, and muliple neck profiles. And that just scratches the surface. The combinations are mind-boggling. No wonder we all have GAS!

But given restrictions imposed by reality, I go for a mixture. My three guitars all have different wood combos, different sizes, different scale lengths and different nut widths. And I love having that variety. And that's to say nothing of the voicing differences between different builders. If I could add one more it would be an African blackwood/spruce GC with 1 3/4 nut or wider. From a different builder.

Different size guitars
For me that's what matters.
