Good Saturday morning OLFers,
I will be starting an OM size guitar with madagasscar rose back and sides (thanks Bob - the package arrived last week and the wood looks awesome!) under the watchful tutelage of Mr. Tony Karol this coming September. What I am struggling with is the top. I have been contemplating Adi, Lutz and WR Cedar. Unfortunately, my knowledge of their respective tonal qualities is ziltch! I suspect the Adi would be bright and crisp, the Lutz somewhat similar and the cedar warmer and mellow (but I could be completely off base - that's why I like to hang around the OLF - you guys/gals know so much!). Now some of you will immediately ask "What sound are you looking for?", "What style are you going to be playing?". The guitar will be intended for fingerstyle play (don't confuse that with a suggestion that I know how to play fingerstyle guitar
). The sound .... well that's where I'm all over the map and figure some sound bytes would be really instructive in helping me get comfortable with my decision. Can anyone offer up some sound clips of an OM mad rose combined with either adi, lutz or wrc?
TX!
Rick
