And I wonder: Why do we underestimate the influence of a pick so much (in Europe we call it Plektron).
For me a great guitar can sound shitty with the wrong pick.....
Great comparison btw! 🤗
Good comparison and analysis. Juan John makes them sound all good!
Cool comparison.
I own 12 acoustic guitars and all but one is mahogany back and sides (3 of them are all mahogany) all chosen by my ear and could care less about the wood if it sounds good. I have one sitka spruce w/indian rosewood and I'm very familiar with the overtones of rosewood and just don't like it. The mahogany sounds the most natural to me with a nice woody midrange, great for fingerstyle or strumming, and still has the highs without being overly chimey and the lows without being boomy. Torrefied sitka on mahogany is a great combination if you don't like an all-mahogany guitar and want a touch of extra high-end without losing any low end while still keeping a very distinct tone separation among strings.
Appreciate the input, and one thing we immediately agree with is the "natural" sound you get with most Mahogany. Of course is varies from guitar to guitar, and even then remains subjective, but we hoe our videos help people form their own opinion with a little help from our staff here at Heartbreaker. Thanks for watching, Mr. H!
I thought I was the only one... 6 out of 7 of mine are also mahogany
"Cork snifeers" ha! Love it
Would have like to hear the regular hog and coco. Great comparison video. Love hearing the differences. Great for prospective buyers to choose the right tonewood.
Our shootout videos are some of our favorites. Some find it hard to tell the difference between guitars from day to day, or shop to shop. But side by side? Another story :)
its easy to telll indian rosewood because of the lack of the middle tones, but elevated low and high end tone
There are some giveaways, that's for sure. Do the differences stay consistent when the woods stay the same, but the models change? Hmm.
Great comparison video guys! Loved all three! But that Brazilian Rosewood really spoke to me! Such a beautiful, awesome tone!
Great comparison. But that fiddleback really surprised me!
Hog is awesome !
great comparison. Definitely hear a difference. Microphone placement was not exactly matched as the one guy was kinda sitting at an angle to the microphone but otherwise a good video.
Great point. And thanks for watching!!!
Do you have a Cuban mahagony guitar? wanna hear the differences compared to Brazilian
Just based on where they were strumming can make a big difference ( man on the left was closer to the bridge, on the right was closer to the neck)
Much different playing styles, indeed. Something to note! Thanks for watching, Austin!
That mahogany has CHARACTER
It's hard to beat, that's for sure.
I knew which one was Brazilian on the first strum. Cleaner brighter more open tone. Dynamics is the definitive quality.
Good ear, Mr. Elfrink :) We've got some more comparison videos coming up. Perhaps we can test your ears once more. Thanks for watching!
Great comparison. The Brazilian seemed to have the best of both worlds, clarity and reverb. Would be interesting to compare the Brazilian to Cocobolo, should be closer... Anyway, thanks!
Appreciate the great feedback Felix! Cocobolo vs. Brazlian? Sounds good to us. Look out for it!
@@HeartbreakerGuitars That would be fantastic, thank you!
You can tell immediately! Brazilian is unmistakable for anyone been around the trees awhile lol
I vote for mahogany above Brazilian Rosewood and Indian Rosewood. Brazilian is too laden with overtones and Indian can be dull. Mahogany is the true holy grail for the steel string guitar.
The choice for many of our great guitars, and a great vote! Thanks for watching!
I guessed correctly- but not a guess. The difference is significant. For rosewood Brazilian rules.
Some have a definitive preference, and it's well established - but we've heard others surprised to find out their blind feedback is not as set in stone. Brazilian Rosewood is a tough competitor, indeed. Thanks for watching, Mr. Stabin!
Sorry guys, when I first heard you strum each guitar, I got it wrong. I personally play a lot have great guitars and feel there are so many great sounding sides and backs. For the difference in price, one could get a cocobolo or Madagascar and get a fabulous sound over Indian. Mahogany is fantastic as well. Beautiful sonic quality for finger style. If indeed Brazilian is the best my friend, for the huge extra cost, you might have reached a small point of diminishing return because there are other woods sounding almost as good for much less money. Simply cost differential.
Indeed. If the woods were priced based on their quality of sound, we'd see a much different market than what actually exists. Availability, the manufacturing process and many other factors play part in why one wood that sounds "just as good" as another may cost 5 times the price.
Guitar A for me.
Thanks for watching, Tex - What was it about Guitar A that sold it for you?
The hog model wins that one hands down for me... just sounds more full and rich :)
Hog is awesome!
+1 Hog wins this by a mile. It just sounds so woody, warm and true. In my opinion the best tonewood in the world, especially in Santa Cruz guitars.
They have both heavy accents
Thanks for watching
3:08 - Indian Rosewood? I thought that was the Brazilian Rosewood?
There's a chance we said it backwards once or twice - sorry about that!
Only hear difference with headphones. And Madagascar sounds different also.
that hog sound same as sapele LOL
Sapele is a great tonewood
I think Brazilian tone wood is overrated. Not that I don't like the sound but for an extra $10k (option at Martin...probably the same at Santa Cruz or any other maker). I don't think it's worth thats much added cost just to get that sound. Unless some one has their heart set on THAT sound. So for any one who has an EXTRA $10k to spend on a custom guitar...If some one wants to pay $20k for a guitar...
You've got a good point, Mr. C - There are some that do indeed find the value, but others that share your views. Luckily, there's a wide variety in between these two incredible guitars for all to choose from. Thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment!
Master grade doesn't include sapwood. If they're calling that master grade it's just marketing :)
Brazilian rules ............but, you must pay, lol $$$
They can get up in price quick, that's for sure!
Except technically there is a difference.
Brazilian is BETTER.
.. or is it? We appreciate you watching, B\E!
