So guitar A was my Martin HDC-28 Anthem and B was a Klos 3/4 Carbon guitar with a bolt on neck and the Anthem. I felt the Klos held up very well considering but the plot has thickened a little. I just checked the saddle and it is not flat in the middle. This is will certainly affect the string balance and overall sound. My hope is that if I make this perfectly flat then the Klos will sound even better which could be quite amazing. I will report back…
@@aaronshortmusic - man, I got an LR Baggs Anthem SL-C installed in a Manuel Rodriguez Model FF flamenco guitar. It sounds very reasonable! Check it out - ua-cam.com/video/s6qbuhXkGbk/v-deo.html
Hi Aaron - I enjoy your channel. Guitar A has a warm, pleasant, lower-mid heavy sound, with the highs somewhat recessed. I like that in certain contexts - maybe playing and singing by myself. In general, I slightly prefer it. However, guitar B has a scooped sound, and the highs have much more presence and clarity. In a band context that might includes 1-2 electric guitars, a bass, and drums, guitar B is going to have a better chance at cutting through and adding that acoustic guitar shimmer. So which is better? It depends.
Guitar B is clearer and would likely fit better with other instrumentation and vocals. Guitar A has a nasal/boxy sound that is too hyped. Not sure if the guitars have the same strings..that could be a factor as well
I think I like guitar B better, it's more open sounding, less low mids but there is some upper nasal-ness to it that I would EQ out. Guitar A has more low mids to me
Guitar A sounds more crisp, clear and cleaner than B. I can hear the strike and sound of each sting individually. Guitar B sounds muddier and muffled compared to A.
Guitar “A” sounds harsh. Guitar b has more detail. I prefer B. I’m gonna bet guitar an is the unanimous winner in this contest. I will add that I prefer hearing amplified sound through the kind of speaker system it will be used with in public. Direct recordings never sound as good to my ears. Yeah, I realize this is more scientific and all things are equal. Fair enough.

Great ! We need more exacting videos like this , thanks .
I will post the answer tomorrow evening. Thank you, this is research for an upcoming video.
My vote is A. You can hear all strings clearly with tonal quality. B is to tinny and trebly, not a clear distinct sound as much from all strings.
I've owned two KLOS guitars (nylon string) and I think they sound stellar, man.
Cool. I’m excited to review some.

Much preferred the mid hump on A to the scoop on B.

Guitar A is the one I liked , Guitar B had some king of low end thump going on. Guitar B had some more high end , Guitar A had more balance.
I like B best. A sounds more processed and balanced. B sounds more live acoustic

Hmm. A more muffled, base, but nice and rounded sound. B harsh, trebblish. Sharp, crisp. A different feel.
In a band with bass guitar, A; alone as a solo performer, B.
Guitar A: maple back and sides? Sounds like a J200
A for me. Sounds like B is a smaller body guitar too.
Prefer A
But....
It also depends on which song or style I'm playing .
A because it has warmth and roundness, and top end can be added to taste. B is too trebly and brittle.
Hey Aaron have you ever tried the Harmonik GT02? I've heard great things
I have not!
They are just different. Not like some of them beter then the other. Just different. Depents from the mix where to place them.
Just listened again. I still prefer B but miss the deep sounds of your own Martin Guitars!
Definitely guitar A. Much fuller sound.
Because of the clarity, "B"
B because it sounds just slightly more natural to me. That said, it’s too trebly for me.
Its B for me, more brightness,
I like A better, there was a tad too much bass on B and a bit too scooped sounding.
prefer guitar A it seemed more natural to me Gazza
Guitar A sounds more crisp, clear and cleaner than B. I can hear the strike and sound of each sting individually. Guitar B sounds muddier and muffled compared to A.
A is your favorite?
A is my favorite.
I prefer B but really there isn't that much difference to my poor hearing

B has a more noticeable "piezo" sound.
They are both using the trumic at max.
Like B myself
Prefer A. It was much more clear..
Definitely A. B sounds more brittle and lacking fullness. B sounds tinny and too scooped.
A.
B sounds better. A sounded a little muddy to my ears.
Guitar A overall had a better tone.
