Having tried both Ozark and Ashbury, I thought the Ozark was probably the better bet. The Ashbury did the job but seemed slightly characterless. In the end, I decided to get neither, and commissioned a luthier friend to make me one. It's based on a Gibson 1920 design, will cost around 4 times the price of the Ozark/Ashbury guitars, and I won't get it for a year, but I think it's worth waiting for. And I have a year to save up for it.
