I have a 2010 and a 2011 Santa Cruz OM/PW. Both are Spruce and rosewood and they sound very different - excellent, but different. I also have a Martin Custom Shop OM-18 with GE bracing with spruce and mahogany and it's very different from the other two. They all sound great, but they differ enough to satisfy my taste for variety.

The only way to answer that question is to string them all with the same strings, at the same time.

Are you talking about that same person being a listener or the player? As the player I've not heard two guitars of the same type and size sound the same even within brands. And I'm not fooling myself. A Martin 000-16 does not sound like a 000-28. Nor does a 000-28 sound like a 000-18. I wish they all did sound like xxx-18s and 28s and above, I could have saved a lot of money over the years. I am finding I don't have to pay those prices across brands to make myself happy though. Just proved it again today with the E20D I left Chicago Music Exchange with today. Amazing sound at a fraction of the cost of an equivalent Martin.

Yes, I think that they do sound different. It would be interesting if there were more double blind tests in this regard.

I just recorded mine quickly the other day straight from an AKG P220.
Clearly different tone, clarity, and bass/treble response. Both jumbo sized guitars. Same strings. Only about 50° in the basement when I did this, so my fingers were getting chilled.

Also please note that I said "similar" guitars, I'm not suggesting that a cheap laminate guitar will ever sound the same as a Martin authentic. |
