Sure starting to sound like it Spaw - If Old Mose is what I think - I probably won't buy a second guitar. I can't see buying anything that is not as good as what I have - and the price I'd have to apparently spend to improve is out of my league.

I'm going to wait and see what Mose sounds like Feitenized. My Luthier tells me that it really makes a difference - helps develop the bottom end, and Mose already had that, and - how did he say that? Wakes them up a bit? I'll see.

Although it was fun to see all of the guitars, and to play them, I just wasn't impressed. Too weird. Maybe I got my hopes up too high - Sure going to be good to have Mose home though - - I'll be beating on it tomorrow night for a fact!!

One thing for sure - I could tell the difference on the woods for backs and sides. I definetely like Mahogany the best. Koa was a bit mushy and the Rosewood was pretty good - just not the solid sound that Mahogany gave. For pure crisp sound it exceeded the others. The Spruce tops were all very similar and the Morgan may have been weak on the bottom end due to a bad string - the grain was a bit wider - the others had a lovely mix of close grain and medium grain blend in the top. So the midrange was as good as the bass. I learned a lot through this and think I am still going to keep looking. Mose is so beat up that I ought to be ashamed of myself. We'll see - have to try a Blueridge again and this new DR 20 Tacoma coming in to Shaun's shop.
