OK, OK, so I still have a bit of G.A.S.

Could you experts please offer a comparison between the sound of sapele
vs. the sound of maple? The guitars for both are the Martin OMC 16E.


I only wish I understood your post.

What is G.A.S ?

Graham


Opps! Wrong group! It was meant for a guitar group. G.A.S. stands for
"Gear Acquisition Syndrome", which some say is cured by F.A.R.T
(Frequent Application of Retail Transactions). ;-)


Um, why not go for rosewood, or other well-known tonewoods, for the
back and sides?

And do you not have the opportunity to try the guitar out? I would
never, ever buy an instrument without hearing/playing it, assuming that
it is not strictly an investment (like a 1958 Les Paul Standard, or a
1941 herringbone D-28...).

BTW, I hope that your bowels work themselves out.:-)
