Very nice compare, I hear more boominess on the Cedar and more sparkling on the Spruce. It's a small difference though ... but it seems for a Baritone a Cedar works wonderful.
@@hyenik ... Well, enjoy I did - had the extraordinary opportunity to play both in the store after hearing your comparison and can verify the accuracy of your sound clips here. The spruce is more focused and bright, but the cedar is so warm and open (and sounds like a piano with the sustain pedal full on! Thus no hesitation for me, I came home with the cedar and haven't been able to put it down since. The Baritone not only suits my vocal range far better (wish I had of known that 40 years ago!) but has also inspired me to revisit everything I've written over the decades, especially my instruments. But then I dropped it down to DADGAD and ... OMG!!!
@@swainsongable You are lucky man! It is really extraordinary to have chance compare these too baritones 👍 it is never too late for great instruments :) You can listen this cedar one on my friends project ua-cam.com/channels/cwE3pWFn6Cdz9Z0x7bFK7Q.htmlfeatured
Thanks for comparison. It's difficult to get an idea through youtube but for now spruce/walnut sounds clearer than cedar with best medium less bass though.. it looks more subtle. Also i prefer the walnut for back than second choice of monotone mahogany... But impossible to find the sw one in my region for a good price 😢
I waited for my SW more than six month. But for baritone is really hard to have more options for testing. This is reason for my comparison. you can here CM in great video ua-cam.com/video/ZPNSlW2Fn18/v-deo.html SW I use for guest appearance ua-cam.com/video/1d_BQtI5cDs/v-deo.html and working on another pieces
i am surprised. i thought spruce is for acoustic and cedar for classical. but hearing this, assuming all species sound the same in all guitars, overall, cedar is by far better.
@@hyenik ... agreed, each have their advantages - and also very different personalities. But let us not forget a third possible option: mahogany. My first real guitar (Takamine 349) back in the 70's is all hog. However, for the Baritone, between cedar and spruce, when I A/B'd them in the store, the cedar was so "open" it almost lept out of my lap!

Thanks, yeah. Both are interesting and good (their own way).
It’s Sophie’s Choice!
yes :) spruce is mine, cedar from my friend.
Exactly what I wanted to know - hear :)
Thank you!!
Enjoy

@@hyenik -- well that is pretty cool. Really nice open hand technique! (And confirms my belief music is THE international language ;)

Both have their advantages. It is up to your ears. This is why I did this extraordinary comparison.

@@hyenik in classical guitars, spruce is unacceptable. cedar is by far better. but here... i am intrigued
@@guitarmusic7619 thanks, yes. This is definitely not classical guitar :)
@@swainsongable try african blackwood or full ebony or even full walnut guitars.
they are amazing
Nice comparison :)
thanks, Deep is nice ≋
Nice studio!
