I got them all correct as once you hear the Casimi, it's hard to unhear. I can also hear a similarity in the overtones, I presume from basic material choices , but they are voiced very differently.. I get the feeling that the Casimi does not suffer fools and is very revealing, whereas the Turnstone is less fussy and intimidating. As always thanks for doing this stuff is very appreciated. They are both beautiful instruments
I thought the Casimi was easy to pick until the last round, both are beautiful sounding and I'll accept whichever one you don't want. You can ship it to XXX. Thanks for posting these fines guitars, a rare opportunity to listen to such craftsmanship.
It is easy to recognize which one was which. This is a very interesting demo. It is fascinating to listen to so similar but different sounds. The Turnstone appears brighter and more focused, while the Casimi is softer, wider, and with more overtones in the lower and middle register. It is definitely a great example of a 12 vs. 14 difference. I have the same combination of woods, and both guitars' sonic characteristics are pretty familiar to me. If I have to guess, the Casimi is more responsive and suitable for solo/intimate tunes, opposing Turnstone's more universal and all-around voicing. Essentially, in the hands of a master like Michael, both guitars play fantastically!
They both sound wonderful but in each example the Casimi’s extra power was distinguishable due to the 12 fret placement of the bridge in the power zone of the soundboard. Now, everybody go back and listen again to MW’s Emerald Guitar demos & if you don’t think that these tonewoods blow carbon fibre out of the water, you definitely need a hearing check.
So true, carbon fibre guitars sound cold, artificial and unexciting to me, can't quite understand their appeal apart from not being affected by climatic conditions.
Both sound amazing, I really like African blackwood guitar s, I had to get one made I have a single 0 with a terrified Adirondack top that sounds heavenly.

The Casimi has a distinct sound in a way I don't know how to describe. They both sound beautiful, great playing as always
Amazing sustain…beautiful playing
Both sound beautiful. I picked the Casimi on the first two and the Turnstone on the third round. My favorite tonewood is African Blackwood.
Loved them both, Rosie’s guitar sounded phenomenal, gotta get myself one
My choice. both brilliant.
I'll take the non cut away please.

The sustain is otherworldly! No effects added, correct? The Casimi, as stated below is hard to unhear-beautiful! Both great though.
Both sounded similarly spectacular, but the Casimi is 100% dialed in perfection.
In the last 5 years, I've heard some astounding guitars built from blackwood.
Beautiful

The sustain goes on forever! Both sound excellent with rich, lush tones. I do prefer the tighter, more focussed sound of the Turnstone.

Mahalo Michael great guitars. I heard the African Black Wood has the properties of Rose Wood. If it does or it doesn't, great sounding guitars.
Many talk about African Blackwood, but the source of the sound is the top wood. European spruce.
The Casimi had a richer bottom end. The Turnstone seems to have a little more clarity.
Casimi won 2-1 which probably tells you I liked them both and that I did not think there was much between them.
The overtones on that casimi are almost silly lol
