The recording of these guitars is really well done! It feels like I’m in the room with them.
@HenryPipes Thanks for checking it out!
They're both good examples but I would take the one with sinker mahogany. I always hear something extra in sinker guitars and this one is no exception, the bass on the sinker guitar makes it sound older than it is.
@williamburroughs2273 Thanks for checking it out! I agree, Sinker adds something good, always!
Now, that's what a guitar should sound like .
On those two, I like the sinker. Seems to have a more focused and present bass.
@ericyoung2959 I definitely preferred the Sinker too!
For me, the sinker model wins here, but you can also definitely tell that it sounds newer… I think in five or 10 years that one will balance out even more, but still be better than the other. On the other hand if someone prefers a slightly more mellow tone the standard mahogany is great too!!
I own the 1939 sunburst authentic with a toreffied Adi top and beautiful sinker mahogany back. I absolutely love it, better than my martin D-42 custom and D-45. It is the guitar I play the most. Its tone is amazing and very pre-war.
@sonofprovence Thank you for checking it out! That Authentic must be a good one!!
Knowing that describing sound can be a tricky undertaking, my takeaway is that the standard mahogany has more base punch with good treble ringing over. The sinker had more pronounced mids and, in my non-audiophile opinion, was more evenly balanced. Overall, this is a good example of how one build element can impact a guitars tone. Would be glad to have either as a member of the herd.
That's right. Super good guitars. I did prefer the Sinker for the reasons you mention!!
I like the GE custom better is this one. Sinker does seem to enhance the trebles in my experience playing them.
@brianhudson818 Nice! Everyone once in a while I hear that!
That sinker is awesome
My favorite too!
You fan actually hear a difference. Sinker had more tone
@demolitionwilliams7419 I agree. Sinker always does good stuff
both so classic!! i may be calling u about a good sinker!
@sooparticular Thank you! I have several in stock and heading back to the factory in March!
